[SOLVED] Server 2019 Windows update error (0x80073712)

[CXL]

Hello,

just read about another person that had this problem. And one of your users "Maxstar"
rebuilt the registry to fix this problem. I saw that those fixes were for THAT system alone
so I would very much appreciate if he could do the same for me. I have 2 Windows 2019
servers. They are both installed in Swedish language. One is working perfectly while the
other won't install Windows Cumulative updates. Other updates install fine.
Plz let me know what you need from me.

Sincerely,

Claes
