then try to install the updates

oh, I was thinking of something eles, no the system does not have an antivirus!

[Compton]

do a clean boot try checking for updates

[RichTech]

OK I will trying that, but this issue is happening on a virtual machine, which tells me that it is a corrupt iso from the media creation tool, Also I downloaded windows 10 from the media creation tool and I am having no problems, so I think the windows 8 media creation tool is corrupt.

OK Clean boot didn't help. I still think has something to do with the media creation tool

Thank Brian I will do that, but I want to know why everytime I do a clean install using the iso from the media creation why windows update doesn't work

Update: I fixed it! Yes I figured it! YEAHHHHHHH

I needed to install an update manually! See link below:
