WU_E_INVALID_UPDATE
WU_E_INVALID_UPDATE means the client received an update record whose metadata cannot be used safely. The record may be incomplete, internally inconsistent, or incompatible with the client.
Useful diagnostic steps
- Determine whether only one update fails or whether many updates from the same service show the problem.
- Use the update log to capture the update identity and the preceding metadata or parsing error.
- If the source is managed, correct or resynchronize the catalog; clearing a client cache alone does not repair invalid server metadata.
