Yes, sometimes overly aggressive antivirus software can interfere with the Windows Update process, leading to these errors. Temporarily disabling your antivirus (ensure you understand the risks) and then attempting the update can help determine if it's the culprit. If it is, you may need to add exceptions for Windows Update services or consider a different antivirus solution.
