Windows Server 2019 fails to install updates 0x800f0900

[danieldunn3]

Hello,

One of our Windows Server 2019 Datacentre VM's is failing to install Windows Updates. We currently use a patch manager and that has flagged that multiple Cumulative updates fail to install.

The server seems to get stuck in a update loop and has a forever pending update. Whenever you attempt to install the server gets to Stage 1 of 3 and reboots back to the OS. Numerous attempt at self fixing resulting in no luck. We have revererted the server back to a previous checkpoint so any changes I've made are no longer. Sfc /scannow and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth fail to complete with varying windows error codes.

I have attached the logs as stated in the posting guide.
