WU_E_SETUP_ALREADY_INITIALIZED

WU_E_SETUP_ALREADY_INITIALIZED means the Windows Update Agent setup routine reached initialization twice when it should have initialized only once. It can follow a concurrent or interrupted setup attempt.

What to check

  • Make sure another Windows Setup, repair, or Windows Update Agent operation is not running.
  • Reboot if an earlier servicing or setup transaction ended abnormally.
  • Use the log timeline to find the first setup invocation, not only the later duplicate-initialization message.
