Thanks for the advice. I might mess around with that a little bit. I don't think that's it, but one never knows. I checked my home PC over lunch and that also is having the same issue... Apps won't download, the Mail and Calendar apps will launch but just sit there with a blank screen like they are locked up.
My home PC is running Avast AV while my Surface Pro 3 I'm using for my Work PC is running just Microsoft AV. Even though I'm at work, I'm connected to a Verizon MiFi device basically simulating a remote user and using the SP3 as a BYOD device and connecting to a VMWare virtual PC for my work stuff... pretty fun actually... I only say that because I'm not going through any work firewalls or anything.
EDIT: I did kill Defender on my SP3 and no dice. I did manage to get 5 virus's while it was off.. I kid, I kid.

If you have anything like that running, try turning it off, then trying to update and see if it helps.
