Thank you, I will get back to you on Monday or Tuesday.
 
I could not find anything obviously wrong with the registry entries. Please reboot your server and then run SFC /scannow. Afterwards post the CBS log.
 
Hello,
I was able to reboot the server during a programmed maintenance.
The SFC /scannow didn't found any violation but after that the KB was able to install and asked for a reboot (something new).
After reboot, the version of WMF is good !

Code:
PS > Get-Host | Select-Object version

Version
-------
5.1.14409.1005

Thank you @philc43 , a thousand times!
 
You are welcome, I'm glad we got there in the end!
