WU_E_PT_OPERATION_ABORTED

WU_E_PT_OPERATION_ABORTED indicates cancellation or interruption of a protocol operation. It can be caused by shutdown, service restart, caller cancellation, or a preceding transport failure.

What to check

Check whether Windows Update, Update Orchestrator, or the computer itself was stopped or restarted at the failure time.
Review the earlier error that caused the operation to be cancelled, if one was logged.
Retry with a new scan after the system is stable rather than reusing the interrupted operation.
