The third step under "Reset the Windows Update Components" can be skipped. It is alright to proceed to the next step. However, stopping BITS is one of the requirements to reset the components of Windows Update. If the service cannot be stopped, you will
not be able to perform the other steps. We recommend booting the computer in safe mode with networking. While
in this state, many Windows 10 service is disabled including the Windows Update services. After booting the computer in safe mode with networking, kindly repeat the steps again found in the link that we've provided in our first reply.
Keep us posted.
