WU_E_NO_UPDATE	WU_E_INVALID_UPDATE_TYPE

WU_E_USER_ACCESS_DISABLED

WU_E_USER_ACCESS_DISABLED means effective Group Policy prevents access to Windows Update. This is an intentional administrative restriction until the responsible policy is changed.

What to check

Use Resultant Set of Policy to identify the policy that restricts access.
Check both domain and local policy, and any device-management profile that can configure Windows Update settings.
Do not attempt to bypass the restriction locally; have the policy owner change it if the access should be allowed.
