Windows 7 Windows Update error code 800b100

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit on a dell laptop ( which is wireless) About 95% of my automatic updates fail with the code "800B0100" tried the "fix it" from MS, no luck. I try to download the "system rediness update tool" from MS but keep getting a page not found prompt. I turned off the windows and McAfee wirewall, but that didn't help either. I'm using a Netgear N600 router. Maybe it has a firewall. It's just a Windows problem though, all other updates ( McAfee, Adobe, etc.) work ok. I'm really stumped.

Actually, Windows Defender is running in addition to Mcafee ( Mcafee seems to be controling both). Also, some ARE starting to get through. Six of the first nine installed, and the unimportant updates are going through. I'll try the fix.

Yeah, McAfee is shutting off things that are native to the OS... its anti-virus & anti-malware; in that sense, it's controlling both. All will be fine when McAfee is gone.
