With which ones updates do you have problem?Strickly for system or 3p MS applications like Office,Silverlight?

If this is problem with updates for Office,Silverlight then here is solution:

Error code "0x80070646," "646," or "1606" when you try to install Office updates

If this issue with updates strickly for system then reset Windows Update How do I reset Windows Update components? (run MS Fix It from this site in NORMAL mode -if doesn't help run again it in AGGRESSIVE MODE)
reinstall Windows Update Agent How to obtain the latest version of the Windows Update Agent to help manage updates on a computer
Try also fix for Windows Update Repair & Fix Windows Updates with Fix WU Utility | The Windows Club

It would be also issue with network connection -see @zirshaid post from this thread
