[SOLVED] Server 2016 - Windows Update Error Code 0x80073712

[5y54dmin]

I'm experiencing trouble with installing windows updates on Server 2016 Standard Build 14393.5066. An MS Engineer has confirmed that the CSI manifest corruption reported in the CBS log file is attributed to KB5009546 (Retired Update). I was instructed to map a network drive of a healthy "WinSxS" folder from a Server 2016 VM on the network and attempt "DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth" until all corruption is gone. However, I was not 100% successful and still have 8 left. If possible is there any way to find the last 8 listed below?

Maxstar,

You're my hero for the month! I've probably been through 50+ VMs on the network in an attempt to try and find these 8 files. DISM /ScanHealth command is now showing "no component store corruption detected", which is a first for me.
Excellent work and I can't thank you enough!

Hi,

Great, are there any remaining issues or is everything up and running again?

No remaining issues whatsoever. Very helpful support for an update issue that's probably been broken for years.

Thanks again!
