[SOLVED] Error updating Windows Server 2022 - 0x80070002

[aleguizzo]

I can't install the October 2024 Cumulative Update, because every time I reboot the server it cancels the update. After booting, I get error 0x80070002 from the Settings update panel.
Already tried:

• SFC scannow (throws another error)
• DISM restorehealth (with or without installation media)
• Windows Update troubleshooting from Settings
• In place upgrade (can't do because there are pending updates)
• Deleting SoftwareDistribution folder

Solved by hiding update and then in-place upgrading.
