I also want to say I have tried DISM and SFC, neither changed anything.

I believe my issue is super similar to this one, but not exaclty so can't use that fix. [SOLVED] - Windows Server 2019 std v1809 , Installing July, August, September 2024 updates , getting error 0x800f0983

Can anyone please help me? I see others have this same issue and they seem to be getting it solved. I assume I cannot use the same sfcfix.txt files?

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Please provide all the previous CBS logs as well.

Upload a copy of the CBS folder

• Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
• Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
• Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
• Click on the Yes button here.

• Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply. If the file is too large to attach, upload the CBS.zip file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.
