WU_E_INFRASTRUCTUREFILE_INVALID_FORMAT
WU_E_INFRASTRUCTUREFILE_INVALID_FORMAT means Windows Update received an infrastructure file that it could not parse as valid. The failure concerns the delivered control data, not necessarily the update payload itself.
How to investigate
- Record the associated URL, update service, and preceding WinHTTP or proxy events.
- For WSUS or content intermediaries, verify that the infrastructure file is not being modified, truncated, or replaced by an error response.
- Retry only after the route consistently serves the expected file; repeated failures should be investigated server-side.
