Description:

The downloaded redirector package is older than the redirector package already cached on the client.

Previous	Next
WU_E_REDIRECTOR_S_FALSE	WU_E_REDIRECTOR_UNKNOWN_SERVICE

WU_E_REDIRECTOR_ID_SMALLER

WU_E_REDIRECTOR_ID_SMALLER means the redirector package received by the client has a lower redirectorId than the copy already cached locally. The client treats that as a possible downgrade or stale response.

What to investigate

Check whether an upstream proxy or caching layer can serve an older response after the source has changed.
In a managed environment, confirm that replicas and update-service endpoints are synchronized consistently.
Do not replace cached Windows Update files manually; first identify why an older redirector response was returned.
