[SOLVED]Unable to update network drivers error code 56

My computer was working fine with internet access, while updating the network drivers I got disconnected from my home wifi but the update failed in the end. I know people talked about this and found that they had third party VPN running but  I don't have any VPN running. I tried using window's troubleshoot but it couldn't identify the problem, uninstall and restart, cmd lines, network reset, nothing worked. Here are the pics.

Answer

I pretty much tried everything suggested here except for re-install Windows or go back to the previous restore point.  I had a VPN installed when doing the upgrade, a bad mistake.  Also had Hyper-V installed, could be another cause. I've uninstalled both after the feature upgrade to 1809 but no joy.  Should have done it prior to upgrade.

But this worked:

Reset the Entire Network in Windows 10 and Start from Scratch.
