What could be causing the windows update folder to become corrupt? - don't know.
Courtesy of Microsoft:-
Reset Internet Explorer settings, and disable third-party Internet Explorer
plug-ins.
1. Click Start, Run, type: inetcpl.cpl and press Enter.
2. Select the General tab, and in the Temporary Internet files window, click
Delete Cookies, and click OK.
3. In the same tab click Delete Flies, check the "Delete all offline contents"
box and click OK.
4. Click "Clear History" and click Yes.
5. Click the Advanced tab.
6. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1" check box.
7. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" check box.
8. Click OK to confirm the changes.
Then, we can open Internet Explorer, and click Tools-> Windows Update to access
the Windows Update site again.

| After you are in command prompt try the following commands.
|
| net stop wuauserv
| cd /d C:\windows\SoftwareDistribution
| rd /s DataStore
| net start wuauserv
|
| Now try the service again.

| 5. At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

| 6. Exit the command prompt window.
