I've been trying to run Windows updates for Server 2019 on several servers I'm running, but they all fail with error 0x800703F1. I'm having this issue with multiple servers. I'm not sure what caused it, but the only common denominator I can think of is that I used Carbonite Move to move them to a new hypervisor from Hyper-V.

I've followed many threads in this forum and made some progress, only to encounter different Windows Update errors depending on what I did, including: 0x80240034, 0x80073712, 0x80248014, 0x800f0950, and possibly others. Since I didn't really get any further ahead (only different errors), I decided to roll back to a snapshot from earlier before I started. Again, the same thing is happening on multiple servers, not just one, but I am testing on one as it doesn't have any live applications running on it yet.

A few notes on what I've tried:
  • I have tried the SFCFix tool but it found no errors, even though DISM fails with error 1009.
  • sfc /scannow fails with: "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation."
  • I have tried DISM and it usually fails with error 1009 (The configuration registry database is corrupt)
  • I have tried removing antivirus (Webroot)
  • I have tried removing it from group policy, and even the domain
I've attached the SFCFix, dism, and CBS logs. I've been banging my head on this for a while now with this. I'm hoping someone here can help.
