Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:
To solve most problems installing updates, use the Windows Update Troubleshooter (in English) from Microsoft. If that does not work, follow next step. Reset Windows Update services to the default settings.
note: Go to "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes." error (in English) from Microsoft if this specific error displays.
Reset Windows Update services to the default settings.

I solved my issue. I went to this microsoft site:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
and then clicked on "update now" for the 10 October 2020 Update. It downloaded, installed, restarted, and now everything is up to date.
