Hi Salimk,

In the first instance you ought to download and run Microsoft's Windows Update Troubleshooter.

This can be downloaded from http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-update-troubleshooter


If that failed to resolve your issue, then there is a series of commands you can execute to specifically address error 0x80010108 which may resolve your issue. Take care to follow these steps (and please first try the official Troubleshooter above!):
  • Press Winkey + X
  • Press A key or with mouse click on Administrator (Admin)
This will open the Administrator: Command Prompt, In the console the prompt will be:
C:\WINDOWS\System32>

Next you will be entering or copy and pasting a series of commands. Press Enter to execute them.
  • Command #1 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net stop wuauserv
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #2 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net stop bits
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #3 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net stop cryptsvc
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #4 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 Catroot2.OLD
    • Press Enter key
Note: If this command presents an error message upon pressing Enter key, do the following:
  • On the Taskbar click File Explorer.
  • Next go to C:\Windows\System32
  • Right click on the folder named catroot2 | then select Properties
  • Remove the check next to Read only | then click Apply
  • Now return to Administrator: Command Prompt console and repeat Command #4
  • Command #5 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.OLD
    • Press Enter key
Note: If this command presents an error message upon pressing Enter key, do the following:
  • On the Taskbar click File Explorer.
  • Next go to C:\Windows
  • Right click on the folder named SoftwareDistribution | then select Properties
  • Remove the check next to Read only | then click Apply
  • Now return to Administrator: Command Prompt console and repeat Command #5
  • Command #6 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net start wuauserv
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #7 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net start bits
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #8 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • net start cryptsvc
    • Press Enter key

  • Command #9 (Type or copy and paste the following into the Administrator: Command Prompt Console)
    • exit
    • Press Enter key

At this point the Administrator:Command Prompt console will close. Next do the following:
  • Press Winkey + I
  • Click on Update & security
  • Click Check for updates
  • Choose to install and restart computer when prompted.

As all ready stated try the official Troubleshooter first. Obviously if that resolves you issue, its a lot quicker and easier than dealing with those series of commands.

Report back on how it all goes.
