Windows Update continues to Fail
I have 8 servers all running Server 2016 STandard. They all seem to be running fine and do Windows Updates with no issues, except on one of my servers that keeps failing on Windows Update KB4512517 ...
I ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter and the issue that remains is Potential Windows Update Database error detected. I have attached the Troubleshooting Report PDF here.
Run the Troubleshooter a few times to see if it can work through the DB issue. If not, here are some other thoughts, but be aware, they can have some affect on your system/applications, etc. So use sparingly. Also, backup your system before anything in case issues might arise.
The following has some methods to attempt to fix the issue. I know it is Windows 10, but should be similar steps for Windows 2016.
Hope this helps!
