[SOLVED] Cumulative Updates to Windows Server 2022 failing with error 0x800f081f

[ballfanta]

Hi,

I have not been able to perform cumulative updates to a Windows Server 2022 Machine for a couple of months

I have tried the usual checks as below with no issue

Reset-WUComponents -verbose
sfc /scannow
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Error code is 0x800f081f. I have tried the Sept23 to Nov23 Cumulative with the same result.

Attached are the files as requested in first steps.

Thanks and appreciate any help.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
• Please copy this file to your desktop.
• Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi,

Step 1. Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Step 2. Run the following DISM command and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log.

DISM /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

Hi Maxstar,

I have done the SFCFix and can confirm that this has fixed the system and that 2024-03 patch was successful.

Thankyou for your help in this.
