Failure of Windows update (default 45 updates) - "Windows update has encountered unknown error Code 80243004" cannot start the plan at all except for the browser

Met Win update for final.  45 default updates selected, and none were successful. My error code is 80243004. When I started my laptop this morning the start screen went to an error message which suggested an update to windows.  No background or normal startup windows came.  I do not have access to anything, but the link that sent me to the "update" screen, and so I have internet only access by browser.  I don't have access to anything locally on my pc.   Help, please.
