WU_E_REPORTER_EVENTNAMESPACEPARSEFAILED

WU_E_REPORTER_EVENTNAMESPACEPARSEFAILED identifies an XML parsing problem in the reporter event namespace descriptor. This is a reporting-metadata failure, not proof that the update payload itself is damaged.

What to verify

Locate the event namespace, update source, and XML parser message in WindowsUpdate.log.
Check whether the problem started after a change to the managed update service or a catalog synchronization.
If only one server or catalog triggers it, validate that source before changing the client.
