WU Client failed searching for update with error 0x8024000b

Question
-
We have a few workstations that are no longer reporting to WSUS. I noticed the issue while trying to deploy the latest version of Java via SolarWinds Patch Manager back in April/May. We started troubleshooting Patch Manager, but the problem appears to be with the clients/WSUS. Our environment consists of W2K8 R2 servers and Windows 7 workstations. Can someone please take a look at the below windows update log entries from today to see what is going on?
Thanks,
Chad

Hi HTCIT,
Check if after doing the following steps could work:
1. rename the Spupdsvc.exe file:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-sg/kb/958040
2. Reset windows update components:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/971058
3. Rename SoftwareDistribution folder:
In cmd, net stop wuauserv;
Rename C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder;
In cmd, net start wuauserv.
Best Regards,
Anne
