WU_E_DS_MISSINGREF
WU_E_DS_MISSINGREF means a record in the Windows Update data store refers to something that is no longer present, such as license terms, a file record, a localized property, or another linked row.
Why it is useful
- This code describes a broken relationship between metadata records, not a generic network failure.
- Check whether the problem is limited to a particular update source, language, or update family.
- Use the log to find the update identity before deciding whether the local store or the managed source needs remediation.
