Windows Server update keeps promptiing to install
Hi, We have a 2019 DC server that keeps prompting to install / restart windows update. I have done clicking the "install", "check for updates" and "restart" button multiple times already but everytime it comes back online, the update is still there.
When I check the history it looks like this:
Troubleshooting steps I did are:
1.) -Run windows update troubleshooter - couldn’t find any problem
2.)
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
I am stuck and appreciate any help resolving this issue.
Regards,
Mina
