Hello everybody,
I've got an extremely weird issue with a Microsoft Windows Server 2022 installation. Ever since after the June 2024 update, the Microsoft Windows Cumulative updates keep failing (the .NET Framework updates seem to be working without a problem) Whenever I run Microsoft Windows Update, it states it's installing the update. The update takes approximately 20 - 30 seconds to complete, no reboot and reports it was successfully installed. Whenever I reboot and try to run Microsoft Windows Update again however, it simply starts installing the update again. Whenever I do this with Microsoft Windows Update it usually just hangs indefinitely or throws error code "0x800f081f". If I install the update manually it states it failed to install the update, but doesn't show any error in the "View update history" section of "Windows Update". This is 1 VM out of 16 VM's throwing this error.
Things I've tried so far:
- Various reboots
- sfc /scannow (reports all is clean)
- dism /online /scanhealth (reports all is clean)
- dism /online /checkhealth (reports all is clean)
- dism /online /restorehealth (reports all is clean)
- Running ComponentsScanner.exe - (The first run was all clean, the second run threw a minor weird warning, but nothing was fixed)
- Running sfcfix.exe (reports all is clean)
- Installing the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog
- Running the troubleshooting assistant
- Re-installed / updated VMware Tools update
- Removed the recovery partition (which is known to me to cause certain issues with certain updates)
- Cleaning the SoftwareDistribution folder
Could somebody give some advice or help me with matter?
