WU_E_DS_NODATA
WU_E_DS_NODATA means Windows Update looked up information that was not available in its local data store. Depending on the call, this can be a stale-cache condition, a missing history or metadata record, or an expected result for a no-longer-applicable item.
How to diagnose it
- Check which object was being requested: an update, service, category, history item, or metadata record.
- Run a fresh scan and review whether the same update or service remains involved.
- If the same request repeatedly fails and other store errors are present, investigate store consistency rather than assuming that “no data” alone proves corruption.
