WU_E_DS_INUSE
WU_E_DS_INUSE means the Windows Update data store was busy when the requested operation ran. This can occur while another scan, download, installation, service registration, or maintenance task is using the same store.
How to handle it
- Do not run overlapping Windows Update repair, scan, or deployment scripts against the same device.
- Check whether another update process is already active before retrying.
- If the error persists after the system is idle and rebooted, collect the update log and investigate the operation that keeps the store busy.
