Error list is not (or no longer) comprehensive

[anatomicunderground]

The list of error messages in this document is no longer comprehensive. We are seeing the following error codes in our environment, which are not documented here.

Is there another comprehensive list of WU error messages? Or possible an API where error information could be retrieved automatically? We are using event log collection to trigger alerts and automated fixes. Having a comprehensive list of error messages is critical.

@arcarley can you help out here?

[jaimeo]

@cinglis-msft can you help us get these error codes up to date?

[ghost]

Thank you for following up on this question. There seems to be quite a few more tickets regarding those error codes, so I am really looking forward to having those lists updated in accordance with what the developers have been working on during the last year or so.

[jaimeo]

@illfated do you have dev contacts I could connect with on this?

[ghost]

Oooh, wish I had. I am merely an external user, but my willing attitude is often mistaken for much more direct involvement in Microsoft than what is real. Sorry about that.

[jaimeo]

Update: I have contacted the relevant SMEs internally and have just reminded them that we still need help updating these errors.

[ghost]

Thanks. Nice to see updated information, especially when information is shared with good colleagues in proper places.

[anatomicunderground]

The documentation still does not look to have the error codes above included. I'm curious as to why it was closed? Are they not valid?

[o0nj]

@jaimeo Can we take another look into this? The issue is now managed by a different coordinator. Thanks.

I'm not in this area anymore either. @dougeby FYI. @arcarley @Alice-at-Microsoft can you assist or direct to people who can update the error list?

[Alice-at-Microsoft]

I'm not familiar with WU client and am not sure who to redirect to.

[anatomicunderground]

Hi. Any update on this? The list at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-error-reference still does not include some pretty common WU error codes, at least in our environment.

If there is no expectation for the error list to be comprehensive, just indicate that in the document and close this issue.

[arcarley]

Hi,

Can you please share the error codes that are still missing in your opinion? Note - I am not the right contact for this, but can try to find the correct person to address and update the documentation.

Best, Aria

Hi,

Using the following criteria, here is a list of error codes in our environment that are unaccounted for in the article.

EventID: 20

Category: Windows Update Agent

SourceName: Microsoft-Windows-WindowsUpdateClient

errorCode: 0x80004005, 0x80004015, 0x8000ffff, 0x80010105, 0x80010108, 0x80040154, 0x80070002, 0x80070003, 0x80070005, 0x80070008, 0x8007000a, 0x8007000d, 0x8007000e, 0x80070013, 0x80070017, 0x8007001f, 0x80070020, 0x80070050, 0x80070057, 0x8007006e, 0x80070070, 0x8007007e, 0x800700a1, 0x800700d8, 0x80070102, 0x80070103, 0x8007012f, 0x800701e1, 0x800701e2, 0x8007025d, 0x800703e3, 0x800703ee, 0x800703f0, 0x800703fa, 0x80070426, 0x8007042b, 0x8007045a, 0x8007045b, 0x80070490, 0x800704c7, 0x80070570, 0x800705aa, 0x800705af, 0x800705b4, 0x80070641, 0x80070643, 0x80070644, 0x80070652, 0x8007065b, 0x80070663, 0x80070670, 0x800706ba, 0x800706bb, 0x800706be, 0x800706d9, 0x80070bc2, 0x80070bc9, 0x80071160, 0x8007139f, 0x80071a2d, 0x80071a3f, 0x800736cc, 0x80073701, 0x80073712, 0x80073715, 0x8007371c, 0x80073b0f, 0x80073cf9, 0x80073cfc, 0x80073d02, 0x80073d19, 0x80073d23, 0x80073d25, 0x80073d26, 0x80080005, 0x80091007, 0x80092004, 0x80096004, 0x800b0100, 0x800f020b, 0x800f0246, 0x800f0248, 0x800f080a, 0x800f081f, 0x800f0823, 0x800f0831, 0x800f0841, 0x800f0845, 0x800f0900, 0x800f0902, 0x800f0906, 0x800f0922, 0x800f0982, 0x800f0984, 0x800f0985, 0x800f0986, 0x800f0987, 0x800f0988, 0x800f0989, 0x8024004c, 0x80246010, 0x80246013, 0x8024ce0a, 0x8024ce0e, 0x8024ce30, 0x8067000c, 0x87af000d, 0x87af0813, 0x8e5e0211, 0x8e5e03fe, 0xc000012d, 0xc1800109, 0xc1900101, 0xc1900103, 0xc1900104, 0xc1900109, 0xc1900130, 0xc19001df, 0xc19001e1, 0xc1900208, 0xc1900209, 0xc190020e, 0xc190020f, 0xc80003f3, 0xe06d7363

A good example would be 0xc190020e. This error seems to indicate a failure due to inadequate disk space. It is not listed on the page in question, but is referred to elsewhere on Microsoft's site (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/error-code-0xc190020e-when-installing-update/fe8d375b-7b9d-4787-ba02-016729224a2c).
