WU_E_WUTASK_NOT_STARTED
WU_E_WUTASK_NOT_STARTED indicates that an operation queried or controlled a Windows Update task before that task had actually started. It is a state-timing result rather than proof of a failed update.
Useful checks
- Check whether the task was scheduled for a later maintenance window or is waiting for a prerequisite condition.
- Verify that the caller did not ask for status or cancellation immediately after creating the request.
- Review the task and update logs for a separate policy or service error that prevented task launch.
