Windows Server 2019 cannot install KB5044277

[AchillesK]

Hello everyone,

Windows Server 2019 cannot install the latest CU with error "2024-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 (1809) for x64-based Systems (KB5044277) - Error 0x800f0986". As far a I know the problem exists since (at least) the CU from past month.
Tried a few things (resetting Windows Update) without success.
Attached the needed files (CBS folder and Componentscanner summary).

Cheers, Achilles

Hi and welcome to Sysnative,

Upload your COMPONENTS hive.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
• Please copy this file to your desktop.
• Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
• Right-click on this file on your desktop and select Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder. This will create a file named COMPONENTS.ZIP on your desktop.
• If the file is too large to upload here, upload the file to www.wetransfer.com and post the link in your next reply.

Hi,

Download

SFCFix and save it to your desktop.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

Hi,

A huge number of issues (Total Detected Corruption: 2262) are reported. Do you have a similar server in your network? If so please run the following command with that server as source, replace ServerName in the command. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS logs.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:\\ServerName\C$\Windows\WinSxS\ /LimitAccess
