I'm not sure if this is because of that or not but I'm now getting this error:
"We weren't able to connect to the store. This might have happened because of a server problem or the network connection timed out. Please try again later. (0x80080005)"

I have Kingsoft antivirus and I don't think it's blocking it as it was previously opening, I tried restarting my internet and am testing it again now

If it still will not work, then you could also do a
system restore using a restore point dated when it did work properly to hopefully fix it.
Please let us know how it went.

First do this..
Open an administrative command prompt (importent)
Type the following four commands:
net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%
ren SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
net start wuauserv
Try to install updates again.
If that doesnt work, sometimes resetting the store cache will resolve your problems...
Right Click the Start screen (bottom left hand corner)
Click "Run"
Type: "WSReset.exe" and hit enter
When its finished it should open Windows Store. Your pending apps
should now complete updating....
Let us know how it comes out..
