Server 2016 Standard Update Issue

[Brian_Busnitech]

We have a 2016 Server that will not patch the update rollups. It has failed for a number of months apparently by the logs.

So I went through the following steps
sfc /scannow - it had errors.
So ran Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and it had errors and couldn't complete.

Tried running SFCFix and it had errors


SFCFix version 3.0.2.1 by niemiro has encountered an unhandled exception.
Currently storing 0 datablocks.
Finish time: 2020-11-01 18:04:44.486

So ran

DISM.exe /mount-Image /ImageFile:G:\sources\install.wim /index:2 /mountdir:C:\mount\ /readonly

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.0

Mounting image

The operation completed successfully.

Ran SFCFix again and this time it ran successfully

---------------------------

Then tried to stop Windows Update Services and renamed Software distribution folder. Restarted services


Tried offline installer update for KB4580346 again and failed.


Looked through last CBS log and it refers to some errors with KB4503267

Failed to pin deployment while resolving Update: Package_1908_for_KB4503267~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.4.4503267-4886_neutral from file: (null) [HRESULT = 0x80073701 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING]



So now stumped as to what to try as I can't find the KB4503267 update to download.


Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hello Everyone. Just checking in, if anyone has experienced this issue I am seeing?

Thanks in advance.

Attached are todays CBS.log and a PersistLog file.

I am still trying to find a reason for patching not working.

Take care everyone.

I fixed it by removing the KB4503267 patch already installed.
Rebooted and it hung on applying updates 100% for about 1 1/2 hours. Logged in and ran the Monthly update with success.
