We could connect to the update service we'll try again later or you can check now.. I can connect to the Internet also game on line and do other stuff just can't update.. Driving me nuts
BTW also did a fresh install still unable to get any updates

Have you tried WSUS I find its better than waiting for Windows to search for things.

Make sure you read up on the documentation and I recommend checking the Reboot and Recall feature as it will automate a lot of it for you.

are you using windows 10 RTM?? maybe Windows 10 RTM is badly outdated and windows 10 RTM couldn't connect to the windows update server
