WU_E_SELFUPDATE_REQUIRED_ADMIN
WU_E_SELFUPDATE_REQUIRED_ADMIN means the required Windows Update Agent update needs administrator authorization before a new scan can continue.
What to check
- In an organization, have the update deployed through the approved administrative or endpoint-management workflow.
- Do not work around the elevation requirement by changing protected agent files or registry entries manually.
- After the agent update completes and any required restart is performed, run a fresh scan.
Microsoft: update Windows Update Agent to latest version
