WU_E_PT_NWS_NOT_LOADED

WU_E_PT_NWS_NOT_LOADED indicates that a required runtime used by the Windows Update protocol layer was unavailable. The useful root cause is normally in earlier initialization or servicing log entries.

How to investigate

  • Generate a readable Windows Update log and find the first initialization failure before this HRESULT.
  • Check whether the system has pending servicing work or a damaged Windows component store before changing WSUS or proxy settings.
  • Compare the client servicing level with a working device of the same Windows release.
