    Check the properties of the connection and see your's is set to Metered connection. Turn it off, if it is on.

    If you’re having problems with Windows Update, the Windows Update Troubleshooter might be able to automatically fix the problem.

    Yes, seen the same here at times. No sign of any action for a long time and then, off it goes. Always assumed that the server was "busy" or somesuch.
