Hello,

The fix was applied successfully and SFC was not run, but unfortunately the updates failed and were rolled back again.

This time around Windows only tried to install 2 updates instead of 3. I can't find a pattern or reason for why it sometimes tries to install KB5036909 and KB5037033 and other times it tries to install those in addition to KB2267602, but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Requested logs attached.

Hello,

Yeah, I understand what the updates are for, I'm just confused as to why sometimes it will try to download and install three of them and other times it will only try to do 2 of them..

The fix was applied successfully and SFC was not run, but unfortunately the updates failed and were rolled back again.

It seems the DriverStore is missing a number of components.

Looks like that finally did it! Updates went through successfully, and even though it was only 2 instead of three this time, Windows Update is telling me the host is fully up to date even when I check for new updates, so it looks like we're good here.

Thanks again for all your help and patience with this issue, I really appreciate it.

Unfortunate update -

I began the update process on another host that is similar to this one (using the same base image provided by AWS) and the updates failed in a similar fashion. I have two additional hosts just like this. The problem seems to start with Windows trying to download and install 2024-01 Security Update for Microsoft server operating system version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5034439).

Would it be possible to roll up the fixes performed in this thread and apply them to the other hosts? Should I start a new thread for each?

Hi,

You're welcome. Glad to hear the update installed without any issues after the last fix.

For the other server please start a new thread, if it's only an issue with KB5034439 you can hide this update or you'll need to enlarge the RE partition manually.
 
You're welcome and glad I could help with this driver issue... (y)
