WU_E_SETUP_TARGET_VERSION_GREATER

WU_E_SETUP_TARGET_VERSION_GREATER means the source is trying to replace a local Windows Update Agent file with an older version. Windows blocks that downgrade.

What to check

  • Verify that the update source matches the operating-system version and servicing level of the client.
  • Check for stale replicas, outdated installation media, or a legacy management server supplying old agent content.
  • Do not force a file downgrade; use the update package that is applicable to the current platform.
