No updates were found (WSUS)

What it means

Windows asked a WSUS server for updates and got nothing usable. On a home PC it usually means the update service needs a reset.

Common causes

• A work or school policy points at an unreachable WSUS server
• The update cache is stale
• Network or proxy blocks the server

How to fix it

1. On a work PC, ask IT whether the WSUS server is reachable; do not remove the policy yourself.
2. On a home PC, check that no WSUS policy is set with gpresult /h report.html.
3. Reset the update cache: in Terminal (Admin) run net stop wuauserv, net stop bits, rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution to SoftwareDistribution.old, then net start wuauserv and net start bits.
4. Check the connection and try again after a restart.
