But a simple pause/restart cleared the error (it was left stuck in queue for a few hours):

Is this just buggy behavior or something that I can correct? It's my first time seeing it happen (ever), on a new client/machine.

Welcome back thecomputerdude,

Do you have any Anti-virus/Anti-malware/anti-spyware software that could potentially "stall" the WU? Add exceptions to those security software. I am glad that the WU wasn't lost and it managed to finish up. Also, it might worth checking the HDD/SSD for any issues.

No AV software installed, running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter (with nothing extra configured over a normal desktop instance). Lenovo IMM is reporting all good on I/O with no controller or drive (Micron S630DC) errors.



And thanks for the welcome, it's been so long that I didn't realize I had an account until I went to make an account again

If this was the first time it happened, I won't worry about it too much. However, if it happens again, then it might be something to investigate

I am too. This used to be a bug and I complained about it. Apparently it has been fixed.

If the last checkpoint was at, say, 98% and the WU progressed to 100%, it immediately went into the code that compresses, zips, signs and writes the results for uploading. If an error occured during those steps, the 98% checkpoint had been deleted and the WU was LOST. It looks like maybe somebody rewrote that part of the process so a recovery was possible.
