    Do you mean that I should have set only Windows Update to "never update" and then got it running manually again to fix it without reset date ? I tried but nothing happened for a long time, nor got I an error code. Later I found in C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution a ReportingEvents log file with "Windows Update Client failed to detect with error 0x8024402c" (2017-12-03 10:30:02:608+0100) and "Windows Update Client failed to detect with error 0x80248015" (2017-12-04 01:06:26:519+0100). At these dates and times the new authcab.cab was issued but not yet released for any reason since I didn't get it by a self-update of Windows update; may be it occured in some régions, not globally.

    I resolved the issue by deleting all the files in the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder and restarting.
