I get this same message .
I've tried all the suggestions you cited below, but I'm lead in a loop all
the time.
My guess is that MS doesn't welcome certain settings for downloading updates.
My choice was to become informed of relevant updates, but to install AND
download them at a self-chosen moment.
So I was forced to change these settings to: 'download automatically, I'll
install the updates at a later moment'.
After closing all programmes and restarting my PC ... guess what: the same
problem kept occurring!
I'm sorry that I can't offer you a solutions either.
(Thanks, MS! For the 'service', that is.)
