    Hi,

    Run services.msc command and stop windows update service. Rename %windir%\softwaredistribution and start Windows update service. Then, try to see if the problem reoccurs.

    Besides, this forum is for System Center Essentials related issues. For questions about Windows Vista, please use the following Microsoft TechNet Forum, which would be the best resource for your question.
