Fix Windows Update errors by using the DISM or System Update Readiness tool
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/947821

I used it last night. It reported fixing a few errors but indicated an additional issue unresolved.

Then I saw this thread and deleted most of the contents of the C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution folder...some wouldn't delete. I couldn't find catroot...but now updating is beginning to happen.

Good luck!
