Hello @Anonymous,

Welcome. 

Try to apply Updates, Add-ons, or Enhancements through your Autodesk Account instead. You can try to  uninstall and reinstall Autodesk Desktop App.

All-right so,

I did actually resolve the issue by uninstalling and installing back again.

For anyone having similar issues this might help:

Go to Windows -> Start or Just press the Windows Button and find in the Autodesk Folder in All Programs

There you will find an Uninstall.exe , that's a generic Uninstall very handy, uninstalls every kind of Autodesk program.

Proceed to uninstalling any Maya or similar buggy program plus it's updates or related smaller apps.

The open your Autodesk Desktop App and go to Settings and tick on the install with updates. So the app will install any program from now on with the updates at the same time.

Proceed installing back again your Maya or other program and you should be fine ^_^
