[SOLVED] Windows Server 2016 hasn't updated in a year

Unable to complete any upgrade maneuver, this PC installs two slow mechanical disks, I will switch everything to performance SSDs and try again and let you know, for now thank you very much!
 
SSDs are slow to arrive, so I retried to manually install the latest April cumulative update for Windows Server 2016 x64 (KB5036899), a 1.71 Gb msu file.
The “SoftwareDistribution” came in at over 9 Gb, it seemed to be proceeding then after a long time the automatic cancellation of the update started, so there is bound to be a problem.
I attach the CBS.log inherent this failed operation, the installation window closed automatically after the automatic cancellation.
Consider that SoftwareDistrubition I had emptied it before I started, so clean start, and in the CBS I see crazy problems, like:

DPX Extraction of file: update.ses failed because it is not present in the container (\\?\C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\dc17ef8048924c249952b719f3d2e8ad\windows10.0-kb5037016-x64-express.cab).

And so many other errors "Error - Overlap: Duplicate ownership for directory...... ", I have no words.

CBS Trusted Installer successfully registered to be restarted for pre-shutdown
CBS Trusted Installer is shutting down because: SHUTDOWN_REASON_AUTOSTOP

Now I rebooted and it is performing something, I don't understand, maybe something updated.

Obviously after the reboot usual progression counter up to 100% and then the usual failed upgrade warning, and several automatic reboots to revert the system at the previous state.
Here the CBS.log.

Hi,

Open an elevated command prompt, run the following command and attach Services.txt to your next post.
Code: 
WMIC SERVICE GET caption, name, startmode, state > "%userprofile%\desktop\services.txt"
 
I am trying before I read your answer to upgrade in place with Windows Server 2019 to see if the update problem is resolved.
If it fails I will restore the VM and send you the list of services.
 
Okay, let me know the result.

P.s. is Apache (Tomcat) installed on this server, this because the HTTP service could be the issue of the rollback.
 
Obviously the upgrade to 2019 failed, stuck at 91 percent an eternity.
So I restored the VM with 2016 and this is what you asked for.
I don't see Apache installed as a service.

Export registry key as hive file.
  • Open the Start menu of Windows and type CMD.
  • When you see Command Prompt on the list, select the option Run as administrator.
  • Copy and paste the following command into the command prompt and press enter.
Code: 
reg save "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services" "%userprofile%\Desktop\Services.hiv"
  • Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called Services.hiv.
  • ZIP this file and attach it to your next reply.
 
Okay, open gpedit.msc and check the following locations and post a screenshot of both settings if exists.
Code: 
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Delivery Optimization
Computer Configuration > Policies > Windows Settings > Security Settings > System Services > Delivery Optimization

Run also the following commands in an elevated prompt and copy and paste the result in your next post.
Code: 
sc query http
sc qc http
 
I don't see anything about delivery optimization.
