Anyone seeing this error when trying to update.
An image from 'windows update error'. Windows Update error screen in settings with retry option and error code 0x80072efd.

Tried again today and got (0x80080006)

I did have an issue similar to this and I had some success running the Windows Update Troubleshooter Tool, the link can be found here:

Solution
the issue could also be on the Microsoft side... test by going into "advanced options" then if you change the builds from "slow" to "fast" does that remove the update block?
 

Here's a Microsoft help page to do with that exact error message:

Thanks for the reply's people but I was on with MS chat last night for 1.5 hrs and with remote desktop and they couldn't fix the problem so I did a clean install half hour ago and all is well now. updates working. Just need to install my apps/programs and have a play about with this 10041 so far so good.
 

Thanks for updating Paul and glad to hear you got things sorted.. :)
