Microsoft has confirmed this is a DNS issue, and a small number of folks are still reportedly affected.
Update: Microsoft has confirmed this is a DNS problem with some ISPs, and stated that it was resolved for everyone but a few users. In a support update, the company wrote: “The Windows Update service was impacted by a data corruption issue in an external DNS service provider global outage on January 29,2019. The issue was resolved on the same day and Windows Update is now operating normally, but a few customers have continued to report issues connecting to the Windows Update service.
“We expect these issues will go away as downstream DNS servers are updated with the corrected Windows Update DNS entries.”
