Right click on the Windows logo in the bottom of the screen and select Windows Powershell (Admin)
Run these three commands separately:
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
These will take a while to run, do not close out of Powershell while they are running, if one fails then move onto the next and then loop back around.
Once these have completed, restart the computer using the power menu and attempt to reinstall the updates.

Are you running MalwareBytes? There’s been problems with this software preventing download/install for some reason.
If yes then disable all protection & turn off their ‘start protection when Windows starts’ & restart the PC.
Also NET framework 3.5 has been reported as causing the problem for others so go into the old Control panel>Programs & features>Turn Windows features on or off & deselect NET 3.5 & restart the PC when prompted.
Once completed try installing the update again.
