Server 2016 – DISM Error 1734 (CBS Catalog Missing KB4580346)

[CarlFromOhio]

Hi,

I have a server that's working correctly, but I am afraid to reboot it because it's failing in our disaster recovery test environment. I believe the issue started after the most recent KB5058383 Windows 2025-05 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems. KB5058383 was installed successfully on June 29, 2025.

Our disaster recovery test restores have failed since this update was installed.



File: \windows\system32\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000007b
Info: The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.


I'm attempting to repair this issue with the SFC and DISM tools. I’m encountering DISM and CBS corruption on a fully patched Windows Server 2016 Standard system. CBS repeatedly logs missing entries tied to KB4580346, and DISM fails with:

Error: 1734
The array bounds are invalid.

This happens even though the system is fully updated and sfc /scannow passes.


System:

• Windows Server 2016 Standard
• Build: 14393.8062 (May 1, 2025)
• DISM version: 10.0.14393.4169
• Image version: 10.0.14393.7426

Symptoms:

• DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fails with 0x800f081f / 1734
• CBS.log shows repeated:
  
  CBS Catalog Missing: Package_*_for_KB4580346~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.6
  
  
  
• sfc /scannow completes successfully (no integrity violations)

Note:
I ran sfc /scannow, DISM, and SFCFix before I found your posting instructions. All logs are current.


Attachments:

• CBS.zip (entire CBS folder)
• ComponentScanner.txt
• SFCFix.txt
• DISM.zip

Thanks in advance for your time and help.
