Unable to install update for Background Intelligent Transfer Servi

I seem to be stuck in a stupid cycle and can't get update to work.

When I try to update:
To use this latest version of Windows Update, you will need to upgrade some
of its components. This version provides you with the following enhancements
to our service:
• Express and custom installation: Choose only the most recent critical
updates or pick and choose from all available updates.
• Smarter downloads: If downloading is interrupted, the process will start
up where it left off the next time you download that update.
• Smaller downloads: Only the files your computer needs are downloaded,
saving download time and connection-speed costs.
• One version: Only the most recent updates are offered to you.
• Less clutter: You can now hide updates you don't want to see.
• Update news: A News from Microsoft section on the Windows Update home
page displays tips and the latest information.

So click on download, and this comes up:
The following updates were not installed:
Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP
5.1 (KB842773)

The following updates failed to be installed successfully

Update for Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.0 and WinHTTP
5.1 (KB842773)

For more information about the failures, see the View installation history
page.


Go to installation history page and see:

You have not installed any updates.

Then when i try to update again the same thing happens.
So overall I can’t get any updates. What canI do?

Manually download the BITS package and install it.
