WU_E_UH_NEW_SERVICING_STACK_REQUIRED

WU_E_UH_NEW_SERVICING_STACK_REQUIRED is one of the most actionable handler errors. It means the machine must have a newer Servicing Stack Update (SSU) before the target update can be downloaded or installed.

What to do

Install the latest applicable SSU or current cumulative update for the Windows version in use.
After the servicing stack is updated, rescan and retry the failed update.
If the machine is far behind, bring it closer to current maintenance before troubleshooting individual update packages.
