WU_E_NO_SUCH_HANDLER_PLUGIN

WU_E_NO_SUCH_HANDLER_PLUGIN means the current Windows Update Agent does not provide the download, installation, or applicability-evaluation plugin named by the update. This is a local component mismatch, not a proxy error.

What to verify

  • Confirm that the update is supported by the installed Windows release and servicing level.
  • Review the Windows Update log for the handler or evaluator name that could not be loaded.
  • For managed content, verify that the update metadata is intended for this client platform and is not being offered to an unsupported image.
