I wish I did but the only other bootable server I have is a Win 2012 box. I do have access to the original install image and backups from a ways back possibly before the issue occurred in case of some use...?
 
1. Click your Start button and type cmd in the search box. Right-click on cmd from the search results and select Run as administrator. Answer Yes if the UAC prompt comes up.
2. Copy/Paste the following in to the command-prompt window and hit enter.
wmic qfe list brief /format:texttablewsys > "%USERPROFILE%\desktop\hotfix.txt"

3. This will create a file on your desktop named hotfix.txt. Please attach this to your next reply.
 
MS directly. Ironically, WSUS is the role in trying to add in addition to the update.
 
Lovely.

Try these steps:


  • Run the Windows PowerShell command-line interface by using administrator-level privileges.
  • Run the following cmdlet in the PowerShell window:Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName Microsoft-Windows-UpdateServices-CoreServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~tr-TR~10.0.14393.0

  • Restart the server.
 
I was waiting until late enough I could reboot the server after trying the command but it actually threw a strange access denied error:

Code: 
Remove-WindowsPackage : Access is denied.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName Microsoft-Windows-UpdateSe ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Remove-WindowsPackage], COMException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.RemoveWindowsPackageCommand
 
Please try the following command instead: Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName Microsoft-Windows-UpdateServices-CoreServices-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~tr-TR~10.0.14393
 
That one gave me:

Code: 
Remove-WindowsPackage : The parameter is incorrect.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-WindowsPackage -Online -PackageName Microsoft-Windows-UpdateSe ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Remove-WindowsPackage], PSArgumentException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Dism.Commands.RemoveWindowsPackageCommand
 
Step#1 - Export registry as hive



  • Click on the Start button and in the search box, type regedit
  • When you see regedit on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
  • When regedit opens, using the left pane, navigate to the following registry key and select it by clicking on it once.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing
  • Once selected, click File > Export....
  • Change the Save as type: to Registry Hive Files (*.*).
  • Name this file ComponentBasedServicing (with no file extension) and save it to your Desktop.
  • Right-click on the saved file and choose Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder.
  • Attach the .ZIP file to your next post.
  • If the file is too large to upload here, upload to SendSpace and just provide the link here.
