WU_E_UH_HANDLER_DISABLEDUNTILREBOOT
WU_E_UH_HANDLER_DISABLEDUNTILREBOOT means Windows Update knows the handler cannot continue until the computer is rebooted. This usually follows a partially completed servicing operation or a prerequisite change that takes effect only after restart.
What to do
- Perform a full reboot and retry the update.
- After restart, re-run detection rather than forcing the same install transaction immediately.
- If the error repeats after reboot, inspect the logs for the earlier operation that disabled the handler.
