[SOLVED] Windows update issue and DISM errors

Hi,

Normally it should not take longer than a few minutes. You could try to kill tthe proces and run Uninstall.exe again.
Before the reboot make sure the folder C:\FRST\.. is deleted.
 
The uninstall.exe does not remove the folder and just keeps running.
I have tried to manually remove the folder but I was prompted that I needed Administrator privileges to do so.
I have taken ownership & set Full Access to my admin account on the folders.
Now when I try to delete the folders, it prompts that it is in use by another program. I have even renamed the 'InFlight' folder to 'InFlight.old' but still get the same message.

Is it safe to reboot and then attempt to delete the folder?
 
I have drilled down into the folders and there are various dll's that when trying to manually delete they state they are in use by many different system processes.
I will attempt to resolve this on Monday. I'm not going to risk rebooting this on a Friday evening.
 
Hmm, strange and there is no update pending? Let's see next Monday after a reboot.

Have a nice weekend!
 
It does still have an update pending installation
But the C:\Windows\WinSxS folder no longer contains a Temp folder.
The C:\FRST folder I have managed to clear out the majority of the data there are just a few folders containing dll files and such like.

Hi,

I would try a reboot first, then check the C:\FRST folder and specifically the "Quarantine" folder, this directory must be empty.
 
I was a bit hesitant to reboot this server.
I connected to it and the updates had attempted to re-install themselves & was prompting that it was going it had a scheduled reboot at 13:30 today.
So I've manually rebooted it, it cam back on, thank goodness.
However the FRST folder is still not able to be deleted and Windows Updates are attempting to download again.
Each folder I go into and attempt to delete the files within I get an error that a different process is accessing the files. This is just an example of what is there.
Updates have been attempting to install everyday it seems.

I've submitted a ticket with our hosting providor to see if they can do a restore of it.
