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.
And, also reset Windows Update services to the default settings.
-
In Windows, search for Command Prompt, right-click it, and then select Run as administrator.
-
In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands, pressing Enter after each.
-
net stop bits
-
net stop cryptsvc
-
net stop wuauserv
-
net start bits
-
net start cryptsvc
-
net start wuauserv
-
-
Press the Windows
+ R keys at the same time to open the Run box.
-
Type %temp%, and then click OK. A list of files in the Temp folder displays.
-
Delete all the files in the Temp folder.
-
Rename the SoftwareDistribution and catroot2 folders to SoftwareDistribution.old and catroot2.old.
-
Search for Command Prompt again, right-click it, and then select Run as administrator.
-
At the prompt, type the following commands, pressing Enter after each.
-
net stop wuauserv
-
ren %windir%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
-
ren %windir%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old
-
-
Restart the computer, and then try to install updates. If the issue persists, contact HP Customer Support.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
