WU_E_AU_PAUSED
WU_E_AU_PAUSED means Automatic Updates was in a paused state when the request arrived. The pause may be deliberate, such as an administrative maintenance action or policy-driven state transition.
What to verify
- Check whether the device is in the middle of setup, restart processing, or another update transaction.
- Review management policy and any maintenance-window configuration that may deliberately defer update activity.
- Wait for the state to clear and run a fresh request instead of repeatedly submitting work while the component remains paused.
