Windows 10 This Might Take Several Minutes

- This Might Take Several Minutes Don't Turn Off Your Pc
In Windows Server 2012 R2, when going into the following configuration and clicking the 'Run Now' button for any actions, I get an informational message dialog that says 'The selected cycle will run and might take several minutes to finish.' with a dialog title of 'Software Updates Scan Cycle'. Even though it says to wait, the server does nothing for hours. How can I run these so something happens? All I want to do is check for Windows Updates because the machine says it hasn't been updated in two years.
Just ran the latest update on Windows 10 this morning. Re-started, got the login screen, logged in but getting infinite loop of: 'Hi. We've got some updates for your PC. This may take several minutes.
Control Panel > Configuration Manager > Actions (tabbed panel) > Actions (section)
Here's what they do. But it doesn't help with the issue.

In Control Panel > Windows Updates, the 'Most recent check for updates' said 'Today at 6:01', but the 'Updates were installed' said '4/24/2015 at 4:14'. So the system hasn't been updated in awhile. Passcape reset windows password. I found a hyperlink in this screen to 'Check online ..' for updates. This ran through one cycle, and said it failed. I did it again, and it finally downloaded and installed updates. Now it says 'Updates were installed' of 'Today at 7:03'. So that seems good now.
Now after a reboot, when I go into, and select an Action and choose 'Run Now', I get an error saying
The selected option cannot run
So since this is a different error, I will leave that as the answer for now.
