Windows update latest version doen't load

When the update page proceed to find a new version of Windows update it gets
stuck.
I found this error message:
CreateObject for Microsoft.Update.ServiceManager failed: error 0x800401f3

Any suggestion?

I had the problem, because the computer crashed installing the active X
