  1. The following setting saved me and windows updates started installing updates that were stuck at 0% downloading. Also Windows Store started downloading apps again.

    Group policy editor -> Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Delivery Optimization -> Download mode -> Set to 100 (Bypass)

    Diagnosed with powershell command: Get-WindowsUpdateLog

    Found:
    DO job {….} hit a transient error
