[SOLVED] Server 2019 update error 0x800703f1

[illumin]

Hi All,

I have one server 2019 which wont update I get an error Status: 0x800703f1 and it rolls back on reboot.
I've tried dism and sfc and components checker to no avail.
I can see it's having problems updating it's drivers too, they get this error - the configuration registry database is corrupt.

here are the zip files: Drivers, CBS and DISM files



Many thanks in advance!

Hi Gary,
Much obliged, I've carried out above instructions and drivers are now installing. I havent tried windows update yet.
Heres the new CBS file

 

[Gary R]

Glad to hear the drivers are now updating. Latest CBS.log not showing any errors, so when you are ready please try updating Windows.

If successful please let me know.

If not please post the CBS.log created after your update attempt.

I had a search on the forum for 0x80070003 errors and one post pointed me to setupapi.dev and I can see error below:
