[SOLVED] Bitlocker fails to installed on Windows Server 2016 - Error: 0x80073701

[kamill]

When trying to add Bitlocker and the various prerequisite features I keep getting "The referenced assembly could not be found. Error: 0x80073701. From other threads on here I noticed the KB error in the CBS log:

Failed to pin deployment while resolving Update: Package_7635_for_KB5006669~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.4.5006669-15591_neutral from file: (null) [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]

I have tried to uninstall the KB with wsua but it says it is not installed.

Attached is the CBS logs, component scanner logs, and SearchReg from FRST when searching for "KB5006669". Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

• Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.

• Press the Fix button.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally.
