Hi!

I have 3 different servers with similar issues of updates rolling back after installing, gonna be posting logs from these in different threads when the logs are collected. As these are prod VMs I have made a clone of the servers and are working with these before being able to apply it to the real VM on a specified maintenance window.

This is for server CU01.

This server is slightly different from the others. There are no errors on sfc or dism. But i think it has to do with drivers.
Also I realized the update logs was no longer in the cbs folder after doing the scan, so after I did them I then installed updates again that rolled back.
So I am also attaching the setupapi.dev.log in case its needed.
