So with windows updates being temperamental at times i have found that windows PowerShell also has a module for updates. i have been using it for a while and seems to work every time with out failure. it is super simple.

Copy the whole module folder (after unzipping) to %WINDIR%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
Setup
Start up PowerShell ISE as admin from admin tools
- Set-ExecutionPolicy
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
- Import-Module
Import-Module PSWindowsUpdate
- Run the Update module
Get-WUInstall
The rest should be automated with some prompts
