WU_S_ALREADY_UNINSTALLED
WU_S_ALREADY_UNINSTALLED is a success status for an uninstall request. It means that the update requested for removal is not installed, so there is nothing for Windows Update Agent to remove.
What to check for WU_S_ALREADY_UNINSTALLED
- Confirm the update identity and whether it was installed under a different servicing mechanism.
- Check update history and the current package state before retrying the removal.
- Treat this result as an idempotent outcome, not as proof that an uninstall failed.
