You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you
want, Click the “Go To Download Basket” link. Type in or browse to the location
where you want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download Now” button.

Hi Joshua,
Kaylene is correct with what was recommended to try.
Also, we can check in Windows Explorer at C:\WUtemp to see if the files
exist as being downloaded.
It will create a folder for the update and inside the folder would be the
actual installation file. Once the install
is successful the WUtemp folder will be empty.
