    Hi,

    I need some help and advice on fixing the WSUS connection issue.  Windows 10 (1809) machines from our environment getting the error "Error encountered" with error code (0x80240007) when trying to connect to our WSUS server (WSUS 4 running on Windows server 2012 R2).  When client click on the Retry button, it will work again.  But next time when machine trying to connect to WSUS again, the same error occurs.

    Thanks.

    Open a Powershell window. Run "Get-WindowsUpdateLog". That will put a WindowsUpdate.log file on the desktop. Review that and see if there are more errors.

    Use Powershell to test the connection to your WSUS server. Test-NetConnection YourWSUSserver -port 8530

    PS C:\Users\Admin> get-help Test-NetConnection
    NAME
        Test-NetConnection
    SYNOPSIS
        Displays diagnostic information for a connection.

    SYNTAX
        

        Test-NetConnection [[-ComputerName] <String>] [-InformationLevel {Quiet | Detailed}] -Port <Int32> [<CommonParameters>]

    In your WindowsUpdate.log you may see a reference to SimpleAuth.asmx. Something like http://YourWSUSserver:8530/SimpleAuthWebService/SimpleAuth.asmx

    See if you can browse that.

    Disclaimer: I no longer have access to a WSUS server. The above suggestions are from my "useful commands" notes.

    Hi Fred,
