WU_E_DM_URLNOTAVAILABLE

WU_E_DM_URLNOTAVAILABLE means the update metadata referenced a payload for which Windows Update had no usable download URL. This is a metadata or update-service problem, not proof that the local network is unavailable.

What to check

Record the update ID, revision, and service endpoint from the nearby DownloadManager log lines.
For WSUS, verify that the update content and metadata are synchronized and that the update is approved for the affected target group.
Compare the result with another device using the same update service before changing the local download cache.
