windows 2019 KB5066586 & KB5070883 both have error 0x800f0985

Stuck and need suggestions,

I have tried

SFC & DISM recovery commands,

Resetting the Windows Update subsystem

Manually downloading the patches

Trying to patch though power shell

get-windwosupdatelog doesn't provide any insight.

cbs.log & dism.log don't provide any insight

 

Tried to update the Servicing Stack Update (SSU) for Windows Server with KB070883 that came out on Oct 23 2025, but it won't install either I get 0x800f0985.

 

Suggestions other than in Place upgrade?
