WU_E_INVALID_RELATIONSHIP
WU_E_INVALID_RELATIONSHIP means Windows Update could not use a relationship recorded in update metadata, such as a dependency, supersedence, prerequisite, or bundled-update relation. The problem is in applicability data, not in downloading the payload.
What to check
- Identify the update ID and the related update mentioned immediately before this HRESULT in
WindowsUpdate.log. - Check whether the failure is isolated to a single managed update source or appears with Microsoft Update as well.
- For WSUS or another managed catalog, validate metadata synchronization and approval state rather than manually forcing the update.
