WU_E_UH_INVALIDMETADATA
WU_E_UH_INVALIDMETADATA indicates that the update handler received metadata that is malformed, inconsistent, or otherwise unusable for the install step.
Why this is useful
- It narrows the problem to update metadata rather than the transport layer.
- Check whether the issue is limited to one update or affects many updates from the same source.
- If you manage updates through WSUS or another catalog source, verify that synchronization and metadata publication completed successfully.
