WU_E_SELFUPDATE_REQUIRED
WU_E_SELFUPDATE_REQUIRED means the current Windows Update Agent cannot continue search until its own required update is applied. The agent is a dependency of the update workflow, so the normal scan waits for that prerequisite.
What to do
- Allow the supported Windows Update Agent or component update to install, then run search again.
- Confirm that the configured Microsoft Update or WSUS source can provide the required client update for this device.
- For legacy operating systems, use only the Microsoft-supported update path appropriate to that operating system.
Microsoft: update Windows Update Agent to latest version
Microsoft: updating the Windows Update Agent
Microsoft: Windows Update error reference
