Windows Update issue 0x80073701 (2025-05) on Windows Server 2022

Will this command work?
Code:
md C:\temp
procmon64.exe /Backingfile C:\temp\Trace.pml
 
Hi sorry for the delay. Yesterday, I run your command ant this time it was successful, but then I hadn't time to upload it.
I am not sure if its not ran a little longer after the update failed, but I hope I checked it regulary.
I must upload the file to my OneDrive because WeTransfer doesnt allow me upload such a big file.
