WU_E_PT_OBJECT_FAULTED

WU_E_PT_OBJECT_FAULTED is a secondary error. It says that a protocol object cannot continue because a previous operation failed; it does not identify that original failure.

How to investigate

  • Locate the first HRESULT, HTTP status, or transport error before this code in the same scan or download attempt.
  • Create a new update session after the underlying issue is fixed.
  • Do not use this code alone to choose a cache reset, proxy change, or server repair.
