Able to download through your browser, or your AU is able to download them? 

Ok, now I understand what you mean with 0 bytes. You're absolutely right, AU does not trust its own file, therefore it can't be stored i.e. no file. no bytes.

There is an error recorded, but the shield appears regardless. 

No related errors in the event viewer.

No errors in my event log too but the shield doesn't appear anymore.

PS: Thanks for uploading your logs! I love to read a million of these f**king logs!

Have couple logs for your viewing pleasure  

  WindowsUpdate.log 42.11 kB · 1 download

2022-04-07    23:52:16:544    1084     f4    Agent    ** START **  Agent: Finding updates [CallerId = AutomaticUpdates]
2022-04-07    23:52:16:544    1084     f4    Agent    *********
2022-04-07    23:52:16:544    1084     f4    Agent      * Online = No; Ignore download priority = No

In your WindowsUpdate.log the AU client reported your are not online. Can you explain what's going on in your system? You aren't online but you are searching for updates? Very strange! In my logs the AU client always reports that I am online:

2022-04-08    02:05:29:584    1128    1294    Agent    ** START **  Agent: Finding updates [CallerId = AutomaticUpdates]

2022-04-08    02:05:29:584    1128    1294    Agent      * Online = Yes; Ignore download priority = No

No clue. My connection is set as described in that thread i linked earlier. 

That same log contains an "Online = Yes" entry too though.

Just to clarify, you said it works perfectly in your Windows XP system. Even now?

Correct.

Correct

Thanks for your reply! Such statements like "Correct" or "Yes, it works" are very helpful! Now I really know what the problem is! 
But now, joking aside! A bit more detailed, please!

Under which conditions do you run AU? If AU works perfectly in your system, then there has to be a significant difference from my system to your. Maybe we can find it

That's my request! I need some information about your settings and the way you get the AU notification shield. In my system it doesn't appear anymore and I don't know why. 

PS: You know if you have problems or you are looking for solutions, I always tried to assist you as much as I could. That means full information or complete solution as detailed as possible.

@maile3241 No further information required anymore! Unfortunately, as usual, problem solved by myself. Now notification shield appears if important updates are available. Without any proxy! ProxHTTPSProxy or HTTPSProxy is not required for connecting via Automatic Updates client. 
And this is a screenshot with my AU client doing automatically its job even after restarting my system:

Sorry, I wasn't at home. I'm glad it's working now.

This screen right here means Windows is not activated. I also see keys tray icon (behind vmware tools icon) in system tray. Is your VM activated or not? Does clicking Continue actually proceed or not? We need to know this first.

Add wpa.one.microsoft.com to SSL No-Verify in Config.ini and delete the entry under SSL Pass-Thru, then try again.

I have updated my post above. I meant wpa.one.microsoft.com not mpa.one.microsoft.com.
