Check out this MS article. I've stumbled into a few other folks having the same problem as you, and this was their fix:

0xC8000711 Fix:

Start > Settings > Control Panel

Double Click on Administrative Tools
Double Click on Services
Start Service: Automatic Updates (This one is probably already started)
Start Service: Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Start Service: Event Log

Retry Windows Update and it should work

I have the same problem, get the same error message that WESTY188 is getting. I checked the service but still it is not fixed.

All three services that I specified?; Automatic Updates, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and Event log must all be started for the updater to work.
