2025-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 (KB5066586) Undoes Update on Reboot
- Nov 19, 2025
So even though I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, and no errors were found, you still recommend running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth ? I am glad to give it a try.
I don't have a similar image to copy from unfortunately.
I checked the CBS log file, but it does not go back far enough to get information on the install failure. I'll save this log file after my next attempt. I am also going to update the drivers on this server.
I will rerun DISM with the RestoreHealth option this Saturday and report back.
This has been a tough one to diagnose. I greatly appreciate you help with this.
As the "0x8007000d (ERROR_INVALID_DATA)" error message indicates a possible system corruption, please try below steps to repair the image, if machine is connected to the internet (DISM works best when it can connect to Microsoft Update to grab any missing or corrupted files):
- Open an elevated command prompt.
- Type the following command, and then press Enter. It may take several minutes for the command operation to be completed: DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
- Reboot machine and check if same error.
Otherwise, if your computer can't connect to Windows Update, you can alternatively use a working Windows installation as the repair source.
If still same issue, as a last resort, you could try identifying the invalid data and attempt to restore the files from similar Windows image in a healthy state, following guidelines in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/installing-updates-features-roles/error-invalid-data-startup-installing-updates
But, keep in mind that this process may be time-consuming and you might end up needing to rebuild the image after all (as described in article resolution).
