Windows Server 2016 Standard 64-bit - unable to update since 2022/09

Please reboot the server first and then attempt to update again.
I will have to wait for a downtime. Right now I have 23 people logged. I will reboot during the wee hours of the night. I will let you know the outcome tomorrow morning. I'll be at office for at least an hour or two.
 
Hi. I've just returned to the office. The server was restarted last night. However the update still doesn't fails. I've uploaded the printscreen of the update history and the most recent CBS logs.

Hello Maxstar. I've just execute the cmd and the error is: Eindows Update Standalone Installer - Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player is required by your computer and cannot be uninstalled.
 
Hi,

Is there third party backup software running on this server?

2024-02-01 21:23:30, Error                 CBS    Failed to call external evaluate applicability on package: Package_1_for_KB4577586~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.4, Update: 4577586-1_neutral [HRESULT = 0x80070020 - ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION]

Okay! Then I would suggest to try the following first since the latest log shows an odd "SHARING_VIOLATION" error.
  • Be sure every user is logged-off.
  • Turn-off the backup software temporarily, so no tasks are running while attempting to update.
  • Then reboot the server and attempt to update.
 
Hello. Sorry for the late reply but I've been busy with the accounting side of life.

net stop msiserver
del /f /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"
del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution\*.*
del /f /s /q %SystemRoot%\system32\catroot2\*.*
