A few times it might work, but usually results in: "We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later..." or an endless "Checking for updates...". When disabling the rules found in data/firewall/win10/spy.txt, it works again.

Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

@Gittyperson @daveimagery Can you both report the IP that's blocked?

EDIT: @crazy-max Request was for the issuer. Who opens issues should give more feedback!

On a sidenote, the IP checked by updates changes from the location of the caller; - so an update from a different continent than the one where @crazy-max did this research may definitely change - moreover the same calls change due to network optimizations.

An IP like 207.46.7.252 hosts a gateway that manages various services as OneDrive or MSN Search. So you may encounter a blocked IP because it is related to other services.

@Atavic Thanks for your feedback!
There is already an issue concerning geolocation. Can you tell me the IP address you have detected for Windows Update?

13...
23...
40...
51...
52...
64...
65...
66...
77...
104...

Tested it once right now and it worked.

update: sorry no, it failed but perhaps for other reasons. I'll try again later.
