WU_E_NO_INTERACTIVE_USER

WU_E_NO_INTERACTIVE_USER means that Windows Update Agent could not complete the operation because there was no logged-on interactive user. This can matter when an update workflow requires user interaction or an interactive security context.

What to check

Determine whether the requested WUA operation is being run from a service, scheduled task, or remote session.
Avoid invoking UI-dependent update flows in a non-interactive context.
Use a supported management path for unattended deployment when no interactive user is expected.
