[SOLVED] KB5036909 fails continuously with 0x800f081f on Windows Server 2022 Standard

[Maxstar]

Hi,

You're welcome. Several registry keys and their associated files were missing, so replacing them from a woking server was the solution.

Looks like the next months WU has brought the problem back again:



I'll do the reboot as soon as the server can have some down time and try again, and then post the logs.

 

[clowg]

Reboot, try again, same issue

Here are the logs to start with.

@Maxstar - hope you can help look at these logs to see why the August WU wouldn't work after you got the July ones to work.

Hi,

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
• Please copy this file to your desktop.
• Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

As requested. (Strangely - I had to give my Domain Administrator user READ access to this file to be able to ZIP it)

Hi,

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

Here is the result

Thanks for your help @Maxstar
When trying the update again, I got the same WU error as above.
Here are the new CBS logs.

Here is the next fix log.
Rebooting server now...

 

[clowg]

That looks like it fixed it.
More missing reg/system files was it?



Thanks soooo much for your rapid help!

 

[Maxstar]

Yes, some other keys were missing too.

You're welcome and everything is up-and-running again...
