Windows Server 2019 updates are failing

[TJROBI]

Hello,

I'm stuck with trying to figure out why WIndows updates will not install on one of my Windows Server 2019 Standard VMs. They seem to get stuck around 25% with an Install error of 0x800703f1. I found the following in the CBS log:

2023-11-16 14:17:46, Info CBS Failed to load the COMPONENTS hive from 'C:\Windows\System32\config\COMPONENTS' into registry key 'HKLM\COMPONENTS'. [HRESULT = 0x800703f1 - ERROR_BADDB]
