Here is how I was able to work around the problem.
Using command prompt
1. proxycfg -d (to clear proxy cache)
2. net stop wuauserv (to stop Automatic updates service)
Using Windows Explorer
3. Delete all files and folders in
C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution (your windows folder may vary)
Again using command prompt
4. net start wuauserv (to start Automatic updates service)
Try now going back to Windows Update web page.
It worked for me. YMMV
