In many cases damaged files located in Windows Update store are the root cause for this error. It may help to reset Windows Update store. Try to run Windows 10 update troubleshooter, and hope it will fix the issue. You can use also the following steps, to reset Windows Update store (WU).

Internet Explorer: Undefined temporary folder
Within my older German blog post I mentioned, that update issues, download issues and app issues may also be caused by an undefined path to Internet Explorer temporary folder. Fire up IE, got to Internet options –> General tab and click Settings in Browser history category.

Check the current location for Temporary Internet files. It should be something like it is shown in the screenshot above. It's important, that the path don't point to another drive, because the impersonation level (low) isn't set for other drives. Use the Move folder button to set the path to the system partition. In cause of doubts, go to Advanced tab and reset the browser. Then reboot Windows and check, whether the error is gone.
