WU_E_UH_INCONSISTENT_FILE_NAMES
WU_E_UH_INCONSISTENT_FILE_NAMES means Windows Update detected a mismatch between metadata and the package content. This points to inconsistent update publication or delivery, not to a user-interface issue.
What to check
- Record the update ID, revision, and exact content source from the update logs.
- For WSUS or caching infrastructure, verify that the metadata and payload were synchronized from the same revision.
- Do not attempt to rename files in the update cache; obtain a consistent package from the source instead.
