I have a new Lenovo ST50 and newly installed Windows Server 2022 standard, brand new has not left my workbench. Windows Update keeps failing, started with:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073701: 2023-08 Cumulative Update for Microsoft server operating system version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5029250).
Now its changed to:
Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073701: 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Microsoft server operating system version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028171).
How do I fix this? I need to install onsite shortly and can't have these problems.
I am also seeing the same error regarding a language pack. I am in Canada and the only language we need installed is English. I'm not sure why cs-CZ is installed, but when I try to remove it, it also fails. I adding this info because the error # is the same as the windows update.
