WU_E_IDLESHUTDOWN_OPCOUNT_DOWNLOAD

WU_E_IDLESHUTDOWN_OPCOUNT_DOWNLOAD indicates that a download still counted as active when the agent began its idle shutdown path. The code does not identify the original transfer failure; it records an incomplete operation during teardown.

What to check

  • Find the preceding download manager or BITS error for the actual cause of the unfinished transfer.
  • Check whether a reboot, service stop, network transition, or management timeout interrupted the download.
  • For automation, wait for the download completion callback before closing the update session or stopping related services.
