Looks like a typo in the code where it isn’t retrieving the result code, simple fix [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/windows/win\_updates.ps1#L240](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/windows/win_updates.ps1#L240). ---

I’ve raised a PR to fix this issue [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40283](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/40283), if you want you can try it out and see what is happening. Otherwise you can specify the log\_path and it should show the error that occurred in the log file. Thanks Jordan ---

It will be in the 2.6.0 release but I also backported it for the 2.5.4 release which is imminent. In saying that it won’t actually fix the issue but it will give you the result code as to why the download failed. With this result code we can proceed further to trying to find out what is happening. Thanks Jordan ---
