For several weeks now (even with the latest version), I've occasionally been getting "Invalid Variant Type" errors after installing WUA on Windows 11 24h2 machines.
Any idea what could be causing this?

Hello,
I'm following up on this topic because two of our servers are also getting an "Invalid Variant type" error on WUA and are unable to install the pending May updates.
Note that these are the only two servers with the WAPT administration console.
Thank you for your help.

Hello t.heroult.
I tried calling you without success. Could you please try installing the package https://wapt.tranquil.it/store/fr/tis-c ... stribution on the affected machines? Also, have you noticed any commonality among the affected machines? Are they always the same ones?
I haven't detected anything unusual on the infrastructure of sleguevel, who replied to the post. The installation of tis-clean-softwaredistribution is underway there, and we are awaiting their feedback.
We are also investigating on our end.
Best regards
