Hi I'm soo sorry I didn't reply I thought that maybe my post wasn't seen and hadn't checked the forum for a while, however not long after having this problem I used the WiFi provided by my university, and the check for updates worked. When I brought my laptop back home and checked for updates again, it surprisingly worked again and I was able to receive updates for Windows 10, after updating I have not had this problem since, do you still recommend me running the above scan? Thanks for your reply and sorry again for not seeing it sooner.
