Hi guys whenever i try checking for updates i receive the error code 80072ee2. Initially i had been receiving the update kb2976978 and another one, but everytime i tried installing them i received the same above error. I tried dism, the windows fixit tool, restarting windows update services and clearing the software distribution folder until finally i came to this situation:

where i had 'never' checked for updates. So i click check for updates on the left hand side and i receive this error:

I was thinking that since the error 80072ee2 referenced a timeout in connection, and i had full internet connection, that maybe the microsoft servers were overloaded. However other computers on my network have succesfully made the transition to windows 10 without their updates failing. I was hoping someone could help me out. Thanks a bunch.
