We usually come across an issue when windows updates fails to install or search for new updates.Here is a solution that you must try to get the issue resolved.
Follow the below steps:
1. Open elevated cmd and type in net stop WuAuServ
2. Open run window(Windows logo key + r), then type in %windir% and hit enter.
3. In the opened folder, locate softwaredistribution folder. Press Shift+Delete to permanently delete the folder. If you find any other folder related to softwaredistribution(eg: softwaredistributionold, softwaredistribution1..,) Shift+Delete that aswell.

Restart the machine and check for Windows Updates. This should resolve the issue.
