You should post your full specs using the template stickied in the forum. That said, do you have other drives in the computer aside from the SSD? What you describe sounds like what I've seen when the Windows bootloader is installed on a drive other than the one with the Windows install on it.

Really knowing CPU, RAM, and motherboard specs would be helpful, but from what you describe I'm guessing the Windows bootloader is on your HDD rather than the SSD. See what happens if you disconnect the HDD and boot the machine with only the SSD connected. If you get a prompt saying something along the lines of no operating system found then it pretty much establishes that is the problem.

Okay, have you looked at the Windows Update log to see if you can determine which update is failing? After cloning the SSD did you grow the Windows partition to fit the actual size of the new drive or did you add another partition? Have you tried running the Windows Update fixit tool? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2714434/description-of-the-windows-update-troubleshooter

Ugh, there is something especially frustrating about Windows Update errors. A few more things that come to mind: Open up the task manager before running the troubleshooter and if the Windows Update service is running (wuauserv) then kill it. Try the above in Safe Mode with networking. You could also try running Ccleaner to see if scrubbing out the registry takes care of anything (https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner).

You could try running sfc /scannow from an adminstrator command prompt and see if it finds anything. I guess checking drive health using CrystalDiskInfo (portable edition is anime-free) wouldn't be a terrible idea, although this behavior seems more likely to be a Windows thing than anything else. http://crystalmark.info/download/index-e.html
