[SOLVED] Windows Server 2022 - error 0x800f081f

[vk90]

Hi all,

I am experiencing an issue while installing the November CU update for Windows Server 2022 21H2. This problem persists on two servers: the domain controller and the application server. I encountered a similar issue before, and with your assistance, it was resolved. However, after two updates without any problems, the issue has reappeared.

I have done all the usual SFC and DISM repair commands and Windows Update Component stuff but nothing helps.

I followed the Windows Update Posting Instructions so please find:

1. CBS.zip log
2. ComponentsScanner file

The system is a VM on Hyper-V 2022.

sfc /scannow - Reports no problems

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth - Reports no problem

ComponentsScanner - Reports problem





Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi, can somebody help me? I tried to fix it but without success. Please find the new CBS.log and CompontentsScanner.

Hi,

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.

The update has been successfully installed! Thanks, Maxstar for your help!

Can you please help me with one more VM? As I mentioned in my first post my DC have a similar issue, is it ok to open a new thread?

 

[Maxstar]

You're welcome. Glad to hear this server is up-and running again. And yes please start a new thread for the other server after following the Windows Update Forum Posting Instructions.

I will mark this thread as solved and will look at the new thread as well.
