Server 2022 21H2 very strange update problem where only the last current patch fail to install.

Mamukata · Aug 29, 2024

Hi all,
I want to share to all my strange case with a Windows Server 2022 21H2 system.

The system is always unable to apply the last cumulative patch but, when a new one is released by Microsoft the system can apply it but not the last new one.

So, the system is yes patched but only with the penultimate patch available at the moment.

the error that i got if i try to install the last available patch is 0x800f081f, same error If I try to update the patch manually.

I also run componentscanner tool but it don't find any error

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Please provide the CBS logs and a copy of the COMPONENTS hive.

Upload a copy of the CBS folder

Open Windows Explorer and browse to the C:\Windows\Logs folder.
Right-click on the CBS folder and choose Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
Now the message will appear, "Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here. Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?"
Click on the Yes button here.

Attach the file CBS.zip to your next reply. If the file is too large to attach, upload the CBS.zip file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

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.

Have you deleted the previous CBS (Cbs_persist) logs? If so attempt to update again and provide the latest CBS logs again.

Mamukata · 2024-09-13T08:40:09-0400

No, I don't delete anything.
I can try to do a new update try to can generate new error inside the logs file?

Now we have a clear error, here's the first fix and it seems we'll need to replace a number of components.

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 again and post the result. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

You're welcome. But there's no need to reboot at the moment, you can just update again after the fix completed!
