Hello,

Background:

VM is about 18 months old? After running perfectly for 18 months or so, this month, this VM refuses to allow monthly patches. I see nothing wrong with the machine and I would prefer not to rebuild it because installing the purpose software (I mean the reason the server was created) was painfully difficult and I don't want to have to go through that again if I don't need to.

Virtual machine running KVM flavor of hypervisor. Machine is Windows Server 2016 64-bit, 1 proc, 16gb ram, 1 hard drive (185 gb capacity with 86 gb used, 98 gb free) - zero previous issues.

Things I've done to try to remediate have been reboot, power off/power back on, download this month's KB and tried to install manually, shut off windows update service + renamed c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder to *.bak, turned windows update service back on then tried to update the KB manually w/downloaded KB file and some other tricks from the past I'm forgetting I'm sure.

1.) Run SFC Scan - after running I receive the following:

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some
of them. Details are included in the CBS.Log windir\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. For
example C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log. Note that logging is currently not
supported in offline servicing scenarios.

2.) Run dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

C:\>dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 10.0.14393.4169

Image Version: 10.0.14393.7426

The component store is repairable.

*I put the actual server name in that spot, but I also tried mounting the iso to a drive letter which I used to build the machine with originally, I also tried downloading the iso from this link from MS, etc."

3.) Run ComponentsScanner - done - see attachment.

4.) Export CBS Folder - done see attachment.
