Windows Update Error 8020000D

I get this error code quite often when trying to load updates( mostly Windows
Defender). Tech support helped me once and I think we deleted the download
from my HD and down re-loaded from MS Update and it worked ok but I don't
remember where to delete the down load. Can anyone help?

8020000D = The destination file system volume is not available. Verify
that another program, such as CheckDisk, is not running, which would
lock the volume. When the volume is available, Background Intelligent
Transfer Service (BITS) will try again.

What's being referred to as " the destination file system volume " might
possibly be the SoftwareDistribution folder.
In any case, either the HardDrive/partition/folder is being locked by
some 'thing' that is either guarding or using it.

Could be security software or, worse case scenario,
MAL[icious soft]WARE.
