Answer 1

Hi, @Boopathi Subramaniam
Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Even the Registry.pol is the current date, you may also try to delete it and re-generate it.
The steps:

1. On the client computer, go to C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy\Machine.
2. Backup the Registry.pol file or delete it.
3. Restart the SMS agent host service.
4. Re-run the Software Updates Scan Cycle in the Configuration Manager Actions tab.

Hi @Boopathi Subramaniam ,

Did you try to delete the Registry.pol file and restart after the SMS Host Agent service (ccmexec)?
