Windows Server 2016 Version 1607 Updates problem

[bagara]

Hi everyone!

I have a Windows Server 2016 (spanish language), version 1607, compilation 14393.7428 virtualized in a ESXi-6.7.0-Update1-iso-Gen9plus-670.U1.10.3.5.12. It has been updating good for years until now. The last update installed was "2024-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB5044293)", but the 2024-11 (KB5046612) and 2024-12 (KB5048671) won't install. I tried:

1) sfc /scannow
Result: "Protección de recursos de Windows no pudo iniciar el servicio de reparación.".


2) All dism commands give error, "Error 0x800f081f: The Sources files could not be found". Tried with the install.wim as source with the command: "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:WIM:c:\install.wim:2 /LimitAccess", and gives the same error.

3) I also tried downloading from Microsoft Update Catalog but the update doesn't install either.

What can I do?

Thank you very much for your attention!

FRST Registry Search

1. Click the Start button and in the search box, type CMD
2. When you see cmd.exe on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
3. When command prompt opens, copy and paste the following command into it, press enter afterwards.
   
   

   REG LOAD HKLM\COMPONENTS C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS

   
   Note: This loads your components hive which is what we want. Please keep the command prompt window open while you perform the remaining steps. You can minimize it if you wish but keep it open.
4. Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
   64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
   Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
5. Right-click on the file FRST64.exe and choose Run as administrator.
6. Copy and paste KB5043051 into the Search box and click the Search Registry button.
7. When the scan is complete, a message will display that 'SearchReg.txt' is saved in the same folder FRST was started from. Notepad will open this file also. Close Notepad and attach the file 'SearchReg.txt' to your next reply.
8. You may close any remaining open windows now.

Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.
