WU_E_DS_CANNOTREGISTER

WU_E_DS_CANNOTREGISTER means the data-store component was not allowed to register with COM in the current process. This is normally relevant to software using the Windows Update API rather than to a standard Settings-based update check.

For developers and administrators

Verify the process context, COM initialization model, and whether the caller is attempting to host Windows Update components in an unsupported environment.
Run the operation through the supported Windows Update client or service context where possible.
Capture the exact API call and any earlier COM or access-related HRESULTs.
