I’ve installed Windows 2016 standard Version 1607 Build 14393.3274, while in November I’ve noticed that Windows Update is no longer applying updates.

The procedure always ends with these errors:



1) The following Dism commands:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
shows no error

2) sfc /scannow
show no error

3) chkdsk/f C: (result= no problem found)

4) Attempting to manually install the latest Servicing Stack update for Windows server 2016 Version 1607 fails.

5) Windows Defender antivirus is updated regularly and not affected by the problem.

6) The CBS.log file contains errors such as:

Other than the described Windows Update issue and error in server manager (task list), the operating system and all applications are working as usual.

Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas about this ? Thank You.

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

I will look into your problem.
Note: I'm currently in training so my posts will need to be approved by the Sysnative instructors.
 
Hi,

Follow these instructions to install an update with DISM.
  • Click the Search button next to the Start button and type CMD
  • When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
  • Copy and paste the following command into it, and press enter. (Leave the CMD window open!)
Code:
MD C:\WUTemp

  • Now, download the following update (KB4550994) to: C:\WUTemp - Or copy this file from the download directory to C:\WUTemp. (Important!)
  • Downloadlink: KB4550994

  • Copy and paste the following commands one at a time into the command prompt and press enter after each.
Code:
CD C:\WUTemp
EXPAND.exe windows10.0-kb4550994-x64_1df8a8ea245041495f3b219fb22f3849908d8e27.msu -f:* C:\WUTemp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\WUtemp\Windows10.0-KB4550994-x64.cab
  • Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors. Or take a screenshot of the command prompt window and paste it into your next reply.
 
Thanx, little progress but still no joy.

Now I can check for updates:
Updates are available

• 2020-04 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB4550947).

but CU KB4550947 install fails with error in CBS log and after restart and 99% progress reverts back all changes.

We couldn't complete the update
Undoing changes.


There were problems installing some updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help:

Hi,

Please run Windows Update again and let me know the result. If it fails, attach a new copy of the CBS log.
