Hello

 

Can I have some help?

Windows Server 2025 Std, V 24H2, OS build: 26100.32522

The 2026-04 Security Update (KB5082063) (26100.32690) fails with the following error:

Installation failed: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073712: 2026-04 Security Update (KB5082063) (26100.32690).

Thanks in advance

    Error `0x80073712` typically means that Windows Update detected missing or corrupted component store files.

    Try the following steps in order:

    1. Run DISM repair commands:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    ```

    2. Then run System File Checker:

    sfc /scannow

     

    3. Reboot the server after both operations complete.

     

    4. Retry installing KB5082063.

    ıf the issue persists:

    * Check `C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log`

    * Check `C:\Windows\Logs\DISM\dism.log`

    * Verify that the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) is installed

    * Try installing the update manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog

    You can also reset Windows Update components:

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop bits

    net stop cryptsvc

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

    net start cryptsvc

    net start bits

    net start wuauserv

    Then retry the update.

     

    If DISM reports source file corruption that cannot be repaired, mount a Windows Server 2025 ISO and run:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:D:\sources\install.wim:1 /LimitAccess

    (Replace `D:` with the mounted ISO drive letter.)
