I have been using 3rd party utilities:

and

Both do most of the work that Windows update doesn't. Only "Online Service Experience Pack" updates are not detected by those tools.

Hi buddy,

 

If there is a sniff that your Windows install is borked or the update portion isn't working correctly you could try the command sfc /scannow to see it picks up any errors and tried to correct.

 

TBH, you might need to bit the bullet and do a fresh install of Windows. You could try a repair but nothing like a fresh start.

I'd recommend searching in the windows menu for Troubleshoot Settings > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Update

Just a Update for anybody with the same isssue, i fixed it. I went to settings -> recovery -> solve problems using windows update. It reinstalls the current version of win without destroying anything. Worked for me.

 

Don't know if the tings are exactly what i called them, because I translated it from german.

 

Don't forget to backup you system beforehand just to be safe
