I am trying to track down odd behavior with Windows Update on 2012R2 clients: behavior is other than expected.
1) If I hit start (enter) and type "Windows Update", then select the Windows Update widget, I get a "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." This dialogue
box has hte caption "c:\users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\Windows.immersivecont..."
2) If instead, I hit start (enter) and type "Windows Update" & hit enter (to search), I can open the windows update widget from "Check for updates" and the widget works properly against my WSUS server (2008R2 with many, many
patches).
2b) If I then attempt to scan for updates against Microsoft updates, I get error code 8024500C. (if I reset the UseWUServer registry key from 1 (use WSUS) to 0, I can scan: However, my 2008R2 clients can use either with this configuration)
I think the logs as follows are what I get during this time (eg: the failure from MS update: from the systemroot/windowslog file) ...

This behavior is .. not expected, as we expect to be able to check against both WSUS and Microsoft directly.
The GPO settings for WSUS are as follows:
allow automatic updates immediate installation: enabled
Allow non-administrator to receive update notifications: Enabled
Automat Updates detection frequency:1 hour
configure automatic updating 3- auto download and notify for install
set the intranet update service for detecting updates: http://wsusserver.my.domain
set the intranet statistics server: http://wsusserver.my.domain.
Suggestions appreciated.
