The best solution to this issue if the MS solution didn't fix it is to go to C:\windows\softwaredistrubution
folder....go to the softwaredistrubution folder...hover over it. right click and select "rename file"
rename it softwaredistribution_OLD. Now reboot your PC and it will recreate a NEW fresh version of the correct file automatically "softwaredistribution" Wait a minute or two and then try and click on windows update,
it SHOULD work. However one tip, it will clear your windows update history LOG only. You still have all your installed updates and the PC will know what to look for with latest updates (see installed windows updates)
This doesn't affect the way WU works or compromise the system. Follow up with your outcome if possible so we can help others!:)
