as asked of user here:

-----

did system display error code 0x80072af9?

as error displayed in op of thread, indicates update problem symptom of underlying system issue.

the noted error code indicates wsahost_not_found has been mentioned here. problem faced op winsock/network problem, has nothing windows updates. dns issue. dhcp issue. gateway issue, etc... not update issue.

for new device, windows pre-installed, manufacturer (dell here) responsible support. not microsoft.

extensive testing of new device, prior production use, recommended , have exposed issue before became customer problem.

declaring moral of story, prior entire story being known, makes little or no sense @ all. professional (photographer or not) not have complete understanding of tools not provider of positive stories.
