If you are getting 0x800f081f error when installing Windows Updates, this Powershell Script might help. Please be careful though, if on a virtual machine, do a snapshot before

$name = 'CurrentState'
$check=(get-childitem -Path 'HKLM:\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\component based servicing\packages' -Recurse).Name
foreach($check1 in $check) {
	$check2=$check1.replace("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE","HKLM:")

	if((Get-ItemProperty -Path $check2).$name -eq 0x50 -or (Get-ItemProperty -Path $check2).$name -eq 0x40 ) {
		write-host (Get-ItemProperty -Path $check2).PSChildName

		Set-ItemProperty -Path $check2 -Name $name -Value 0

	}
}
