Having issues updating a Server 2019 where sfc and DSIM find no errors - and infact nor does the component scanners. Tried installing standalone updates - and they still rollback after a reboot with error

Download DRIVERS.ZIP and save to your desktop.
Right-click on it and select Extract all.... Make sure the "Show extracted files when complete" is checked and click Extract.
Now we have the DRIVERS file that we will be using to replace your current one.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\config
Right-click on the current DRIVERS file and select rename. Rename it to DRIVERS.bad. Note: If you get an error that the file is in use, reboot your computer and then try again.
Take the file from the Drivers folder on your desktop and paste it into C:\Windows\System32\config
Afterwards reboot the system and attempt to update. If it fails attach the latest CBS logs and the following logfile.
Upload the setupapi.dev.log file
Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\INF folder.
Right-click on the file setupapi.dev.log 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 setupapi.dev.zip in your next reply.
