Hi,

Open an elevated command prompt and run the following commands.
Code: 
net stop wuauserv
net stop bits
ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv
net start bits
Afterwards reboot the server and check for updates to see if KB890830 is offered again.
 
That seems to have resolved the issue - the updates are now flowing smoothly again. I AM VERY GRATEFUL FOR YOUR HELP!!!
