WU_E_EXTENDEDERROR_NOTSET

WU_E_EXTENDEDERROR_NOTSET means an installation result did not contain a separate extended error code. It is diagnostic information about the result object, not an explanation of why the update failed.

How to investigate

  • Use the primary HRESULT and the lines immediately before it in WindowsUpdate.log.
  • Check the per-update result and any installer or CBS error that preceded the generic result.
  • Do not stop at this code; it simply tells you that no additional extended code was supplied.
