Can you get to the Windows Update web page? If so does it freeze at 0% or 33%? If so there are some fixes available. If you can get to the web page, there's a button towards the bottom left for help with Windows Update. Check in there as Windows Update seems to need a LOT of help.

Microsoft issued this critical update on the 3rd, which I found out about,
when I did a Windows Update from my IE.
A number of security issues have been identified in Microsoft® Internet
Explorer that could allow an attacker to compromise a Microsoft
Windows®-based system and then take a variety of actions. For example, an
attacker could run programs on your computer when you are viewing a Web
page. This vulnerability affects all computers that have Internet Explorer
installed. (You do not have to be using Internet Explorer as your Web
browser to be affected by this issue.) You should help protect your
computer by installing this update from Microsoft.
And now, after applying this patch, I am no longer able to run Windows
Update. Doesn't windows update run programs on my computer when I am
viewing the web page? I wonder if they locked themselves out ;-) , or is
the site down? I wish to know if I am the only one experiencing this.
