I am trying to update my windows but it keeps saying "cannot currently check for updates - please reboot" which I have done but still nothing!!!

I have done the troubleshooter and says fixed but still nothing!

When did this start? How long has this been going on? What have you recently installed/removed (software, hardware, etc)? When was the last time you did a virus/malware scan? Please post a screenshot of the actual error message.
