    Try using this to reset the update system it's very good,
    Use Option 2 on the list after right clicking it and select run as administrator
    https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/Reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc

    Download it to your downloads folder
    Right click it and select Extract all to the downloads folder.
    Then right click ResetWUEng and select run as administrator
    Follow the rest of the prompts
    Press any key to continue
    Type 2 for that Option on the list and the Enter key to reset update services..
    Press y for Yes and then the Enter key I believe twice
    After it has completed
    Type 15 for that option and the Enter key to restart the machine.
    Should say will restart in 60 seconds save your work.... press any key to continue.
    After restart go to windows updates and manually check for updates shouldn't take a few minutes.

    Afterwards remove any existing Microsoft Net Framework you have installed it will be listed in Uninstall a program

    Then download and install Net 4.5.2 instead

    Then make sure these two updates are installed KB3020369 & KB3172605

    When manually installing updates you need to switch your update settings to Never check for updates and restart the machine first.

    After restart verify that the windows update service is not running if it is Stop and switch to Manual apply and okay.
