Server 2016 - Windows Update failed to be changed to the Installed State. Status: 0x80070057

[csiwei]

Hi,

I have been facing issues installing my Windows Update on Windows Server 2016. The latest was that the server attempted to install KB5052006 but fail to change to the installed state, and gave a error code of 0x80070057.

I have tried to delete/rename SoftwareDistribution folder, catroot2, reset Windows Update components, downloaded the KB and manually install it, but it still does not work.

Attached are the CBS and ComponentsScanner logs

Appreciate any help for this!
