Peter.. the bottom line is that you're getting an error, an HTTP 400 error.

Something on that PC is mucked up, or something in the pathway from that PC
to microsoft.com is mucked up.

One thing that must be isolated is that there's not a flaw in the WSUS
configuration, thus my suggestion to run the CDT and post the results.

Otherwise, I think PA Bear's advice is the best one: Open a support
incident.
