Bug: WSUS Catalog import failures (0x80131509)

Error (0x80131509)

• If you use a proxy, be sure that it is the same proxy being used by your Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server.
  
• Your WSUS server might not be configured correctly. Contact your WSUS administrator.

Cause

The error occurs because .NET 4.0 uses per default TLS 1.0 and the Windows Update Catalog uses a newer TLS version.

Affected

• WSUS 5.0 (Windows Server 2016)

Solution

• Add the following Registry-Key to force .NET 4.0 (WSUS) using TLS 1.2 -> open cmd as Administrator:

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319 /V SchUseStrongCrypto /T REG_DWORD /D 1

• Restart you WSUS
• Test the import again
