    After setting up new Windows 2016 server, i got 0x8024401c error. So i wanted to look at the logfile. But when running Get-WindowsUpdateLog on Windows 2016 server, the log file contains 100% of "No Format Information found" entries.

    Is this ther any fix for this? Known issue?

    Hi Roy.Antonsen,

    Looks like the server needs to reach a symbol server on the internet to generate the file, please make sure you are allowed to reach the internet when you generate the file, check if the issue will be resolved with Internet connection.

    Best Regards,

    Also Having an identical problem with the same build. I have also tested with the following commands:

    Get-WindowsUpdateLog -SymbolServer <Local Path>

    Get-WindowsUpdateLog -SymbolServer https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

    Where the local path is the download location for "Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 Symbols" and the URL can be accessed.

    I have also tried clearing the cache by deleting contents of the %localappdata%\Temp\WindowsUpdateLog folder

    Having this same issue here. Build 14393.1198. That logfile is useless once generated. No issues accessing the symbol server. I can wipe out the SymCache and watch it repopulate when running the cmdlet with the -symbolserver parameter pointed at the MS symbol URL. 

    Once again, Microsoft has left us high and dry with their fancy Get-WindowsUpdateLog cmdlet. Can't say I'm surprised!
