Can't run windows updates

[Benjamin6]

So basically a week after getting my laptop windows updates stopped working, I went to check for updates and I found that my laptop could not install any updates, I'm not sure where to stopped updating but now it's on this:

• 2017-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1703 for x64-based Systems (KB4041676)

No matter how much I restart it always comes up with could not install update, undoing changes.

the biggest problem aside from this is the fact that it means it takes 30 minutes or so to turn off and then turn back on, turning on to be specific takes roughly 17 minutes.

If you’re having problems with Windows Update, make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then download and run the Windows Update Troubleshooter for your version of Windows.

I had to go into task manager, end the automatic updater process thing, and only THEN could I manually update. otherwise it would fail.
