Hi,

Follow these instructions to install an update with DISM.

• Open the Start menu of Windows and type CMD.
• When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
• Copy and paste the following command into it, and press enter. (Leave the CMD window open!)

MD C:\WUTemp

• Now, download the following update (KB5041578) to: C:\WUTemp - Or copy this file from the download directory to C:\WUTemp. (Important!)
  Downloadlink: KB5041578

• Copy and paste the following commands one at a time into the command prompt and press enter after each.

CD C:\WUTemp
EXPAND.exe windows10.0-kb5041578-x64_805a87fa976cf1a634ca916575b7896df7a646e3.msu -f:* C:\WUTemp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\WUtemp\Windows10.0-KB5041578-x64.cab

• Let me know if it says it was successful or if there are any errors. Or take a screenshot of the command prompt window and paste it into your next reply.

Wait its because it was there from last time, trying again.

 

[Maxstar]

Yes, it seems the same update is causing issues again.

 

[Brian Clark]

Ok it ran successfully

 

[Maxstar]

Great, please attempt to update again. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

 

[Brian Clark]

Once again... THANK YOU! Good to know its the same issue, I can just run this again next month. Hopefully this server is going away SOON!

 

[Maxstar]

Great, but it looks like some kind of bug to me! If you have the same problem with the next update, please post the CBS logs in this thread!
