Windows 8 with windows update

Hi,
Wondering if anybody else has had issues with windows update and windows 8.
I am using a Dell Poweredge T410 and 2GB of Memory on windows 8 Guest.
I installed Windows 8 and Virtual Box Guest Additions 4.26. After doing that I attempted to do a Windows Update.
Everything seems fine but when I click on windows Update it takes a long time to start or to do anything with Windows Update.
I select Check for updates and it shows no sign of life and takes hours to get anything then when I finally see the updates I click to install and the same issue occurs.
This doesn't happen with windows 7. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Scott

Post the guests log file (as an attachment)
See Online Users Manual for the location of the file.

Ok Thanks
So any other suggestions. I turned off Windows Firewall and Windows Defender.

I'm experiencing the same behavior on multiple Windows guests (Windows 7 mostly, but also Windows Server 2012 R2). Did you find a resolution?
