Server 2022 Windows Update Errors
Hi All,
I've been having a very weird issue for a few months now where nearly all "cumulative" updates fail, but am unable to figure out why. I've tried searching many forums, including this one to no avail, reset all WU related services, clear WU cache, ran sfc, dism, and chkdsk. I am running 2022 DataCenter w/ Desktop Experience.
Here is the verbose log file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gqZDgHXzDymcr4j6Rf7FALfTC27rx5bO/view?usp=share_link
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Josh

Have you tried using sconfig? That seems to have taken care of the 2022 issues we had.
- kiddserCopper ContributorHey Josh,
Did you ever get a resolution to this issue? We saw it with our first test VM template of 2022, rebuilt it and it wasn't an issue on the rest of the boxes we've built from it since. 1 VM however, made it through the cracks and made it into production on a critical system so would be delighted to find a resolution.
Cheers,
Neil- joshuajm87Copper Contributor
kiddser the resolution for me was to reinstall right over the top - it made me quite nervous doing so, but it went without a hitch and I've been golden since.
- kiddserCopper ContributorThanks for responding Josh. Yeh, I was worried that might be the only resolution, but guess we'll give it a go. Cheers.

Its not working, again i am facing same issue kiddser
Some things to try;
- sfc /scannow
- dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- Additional resources for Windows Update - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn (manual steps)
- a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of install media
- stand up a new one for replacement, migrate roles over and move on

We've got 4+ Server 2022 having the same issues with updates.
We've done sfc option and the DISM option and got no further forwards
Havent tried the setup again, and not very keen to do that. Will clone a server and try that shortly- NitinK1703Copper Contributor
Run
Sfc/scannow
Dism/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth
Dism/online/cleanup-image/startcomponentcleanup
Restart Server
Again run Win Update
