And what is the question? That is a very common error - unfortunately - and discussed at least a thousand times all over the internet. You can always access the help online if you don’t have it local.

Hi,

I guess it is problem from MS side, by looking at HelpInfoUri property of module (Get-Module -Name hgsclient -ListAvailable | select helpinfouri) and trying to browse that URL you will get error. So it seems that is the reason why update-help cannot update this module. I had same results when I run update-help on my computer Win10 (HgsClient, HgsDiagnostics, NetworkControllerDiagnostics).
