This type of problem occurs due to blockage of network. For downloading and installing the updates, your computer must communicate with servers and if it failed to do so then it will flash some error. In this case also this may be the reason of your problem. To solve this issue just Open your windows 8 in Safe Mode and remove all the Third party Antivirus and Firewalls and open the computer in Normal Mode. Now check whether the problem is still occuring or not. If the problem still persists then Delete the entire contents inside C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Make sure that you haven’t changed the start up option. If you have made any changes in start up then change it to the Default setting. If the problem is still not solved then try the following steps:

• Open Command Prompt with Administrative Privileges
• Now type - CHKDSK C: /R and hit enter
• You will see a Notification that the “Drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot”. Press “Y” button.It will take some time depending upon the resources of your computer and that’s it.
• Note- Here I have assumed that your windows 8 is installed in C drive

Hi,
This problem often occurs due to error in drive. Do the following to correct that
type in the Search box
CMD.EXE
right-click on the file that is found
Select "Run as Administrator"
"Command Prompt" window pops up
type at the command prompt CHKDSK C: /R and press Enter.
Prompt will be "drive is locked, and the CHKDSK will run at he next boot - hit the Y key, and then reboot".
chkdsk will take long time depending on the size of the drive.

After CHKDSK, Windows should boot normally- now run the SFC

SFC -System File Checker -
Click "Start"
type in Search box
CMD.EXE
right-click on the file that is found
Select "Run as Administrator"
"Command Prompt" window should pop up
Here type SFC /SCANNOW
Press Enter key
Wait for the scan to finish - make a note of any error messages - and then reboot.
Hopefully your problem will be over by this.
Thank you.
