Server 2016 Failed Updates

[dot19408]

Hello,

2nd server is a few weeks is failing to install updates.

This server is not giving me an error number, just that the update failed.
Now I receive the message "We can't install some updates because other updates are in progress. Restarting your computer may help. and we will keep trying to update."

I've rebooted several times, and I've tried downloading KB5049993 and manually installing it. It just sits at "Checking your computer for installed updates."
