Windows Server 2016 cannot install updates

[Gratiskeder]

Hi,

I'm currently looking into a Windows Server 2016 that is not installing updates.
KB5048671 and KB5044021 is both failing with,

[Window Title]
Windows Update Standalone Installer

[Main Instruction]
Windows Update Standalone Installer

[Content]
The update is not applicable to your computer.


[OK]

DISM and SFC does not find any corruption, but CBS.log shows a long list of "Watchlist Package Missing 0x80070490".
In Control Panel it does not show that any Windows/Microsoft updates - Only Adobe, Office, and Visual C++.
Have run ComponentsScanner, but that did not find anything.
Attached logs.

Hello and welcome,

Step 1:
Warning: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Do not run this script on another machine.

1. Download the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:
   64-bit: Downloading Farbar Recovery Scan Tool
   Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
   
2. Download the attachment fixlist.txt and save it to your desktop.
3. Right-click on FRST64.exe and select "Run as administrator".
4. Press the Fix button.
5. The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
6. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
7. When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
8. Attach the logfile Fixlog.txt to your next reply.

Step 2:
Restart the machine.
Run the command sfc /scannow in an elevated commandprompt and report the result.
If it fails, copy the file C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\cbs.log to your desktop.
Zip the copied file and attach the zipped cbs.log to your next reply.

I tried to install KB5048671, which I had manually downloaded,

Do you have access to another Windows Server 2016 which has the Danish language pack installed ?

 

[Gratiskeder]

I don't find any server that have it, but I have the cab file (x64fre_Server_da-dk_lp.cab) for it available.
Would that also work if I install that with DISM?
