Server2012R2 - WSUS
WIndows10Pro build 2004

I have multiple win10 systems that are currently receiving updates from the WSUS server.
One system stopped receiving updates and returns the 0x800705B4 error.

I have run multiple WSUS reset commands from past posts. The last was delete software distribution and rename catroo2 to catroor2-old.

Troubleshooter finds no issue, SFC /scannow & DISM both run clean.

What do I try next to get this system back receiving updates?

    Hello John,

    Check if the issue is related to Windows AV signatures not being updated.

    Open the updates settings window, then click the “Advanced options” link. At the advanced options window, enable (tick on) the option to receive updates for other Microsoft products.

    Then return to the main updates page, and retry the update process.
