I tried that but still no luck. I am downloading the Windows Update
from the web site manually rather than let it do so automatically

I was having AU too problems until testerday. when I ended up manually
downloading an update. The manual install stopped with the mention of a file
called branches.inf. Located it in C:\Windows\inf and unchecked the Read
Only and Hidden attributes, went back to the installer and clicked
Retry...Success! You might want to try this too, Good Luck.
