Windows 2019 Standard server having issues with windows updates
Hi there, I have one Windows 2019 standard server, version: 1809, OS build: 17763.973 that does not want to behave with windows updates. When I run the updates, it pretty much fails right away and I get the following errors. There are more but here are three listed for an example.
2023-02 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.7.2 and 4.8 for Windows Server 2019 for x64 (KB5022782) - Error 0x80246008
2023-04 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 (1809) for x64-based Systems (KB5025229) - Error 0x800706ba
Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.389.705.0) - Error 0x800706ba
When I run the Windows Update troubleshooter, I get the following error.
msdt.exe

Opening the Event Log, I see lots of the following;

or also a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of the install media, but time may be better spent standing up a new one for replacements, patch fully, migrate roles over and move on.
thanks for the reply, I am just going through the steps in the web link you had sent. The first two commands were done but no success. Will let you know the outcome once I'm done
Sounds good, please don't forget to close up the thread here by marking helpful replies.
