Windows Update won't work- how to fix it?

Windows Update doesn't download or install anything at all.

When I check for updates myself, it states the WU needs to be updated itself. I click install and it fails.

It says this:

Windows Update could not search for new updates.

Code: 800F0922

This problem occured when I did a PC refresh.

I need to update so I can get Windows 8.1 (then hopefully Live Essentials can be installed and I can get my Windows Movie Maker Live).

Please and thanks.

    "The first step is to run check disk (chkdsk) in order to ensure that your file system is not dirty. A dirty file system can cause all sorts of data corruption and can most certainly cause Windows Update to fail. To run chkdsk, do the following:

    Click Start, then click My Computer or This PC.

    A new window will appear; look for your C drive (icon) and left click to select it. Then, right click over top of the selected icon and choose Properties from the dialogue menu.

    A new window will appear; go to the Tools menu. Under the heading ""Error Checking"", click the button that says ""Check Now"".

    Ensure that ""Automatically fix file system errors"" is check marked, then click Start.

    You will most likely need to reboot your computer at this point.

    Proceed to the next step. To give excellent security to Your Smart Phone, do install Leo Privacy Guard. its one of the feature viz. RAM Booster, will help you to increase battery life. "
