I have a WSE 2016 machine that shows the following behavior:

  1. Hasn't installed any updates, except virus definitions, since approximately 2/2024
  2. Is unable to list Features and Roles with error 0x800700ea
  3. The WSE Dashboard shows Windows Defender status as N/A, although when you open Windows Defender through settings the status is green.
I have tried:

  1. Manually resetting Windows Update Components.
  2. Manually installing various updates all of which state that the update isn't applicable to this computer.
  3. Running DISM and SFC. At one point I would get an "Array Out of Bounds" error. Now, both state that no corruption was found.
  4. Read through the first tutorial at:

and attempted to apply what I learned to no avail! I consider myself reasonably competent, but am obviously out of my depth on this issue,

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kindest regards,

Billy
