Windows Update won't allow me... says I am not an administrator

I have performed Windows Update many times on this copmputer but now get this error message. I am the Administrator and logged in as such. I have checked User Accounts in Control Panel and it's fine. I have made no changes to network policy settings that I know of.

Please advise what else I can check. Thanks!
