Important updates not downloading (code 80070B9)

I do now keep getting a notification saying "windows could not check for updates automatically" ?

log file attached if any use

Just tried this. As soon as I changed it back to "update auto" it did a search for updates before I had the chance to press ok (found none) and I then got a pop up saying "windows could not check for updates automatically" again. I clicked ok, shut the windows update page, opened the windows update page and have no option for manual check?

sorry for the delay, been mega busy, still experiencing the same issue. please see farbar log below

I did "option 3 To Reset and Re-register Windows Update Components AND Reset Update History in One Easy Click ", seemed to do everything ok, it restarted the pc (took a while to load back up). But I still have the notification "windows could not check for updates automatically"
Any other ideas?
