Windows update horribly broken, error code 80070490

I was hoping to update to Windows 8.1 last weekend, however I heard that you need to have all windows updates installed for 8.1 to work. However, all updates fail, even the Windows Store default app updates. I took it in to my local Microsoft Store for a free diagnostic, however they were unable to help. I went to do a "refresh" to get a fresh start, but I get the error code above. Which is weird, because it looks like an Update error. Any ideas? :huh:
