Windows 2016 Server update taking forever

Copper Contributor

Hello,

I was trying to install Windows update on Windows Server 2016.
It is taking a very long time and did not manage to install.
I checked that the server already has KB4601392 installed.

 

From Google search, I found out that this patch in Feb 2021 could be causing the problem
I tried starting afresh by following the steps outlined in this link ->
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-resources#reset-windows-up...

 

However, this did not solve my problem.
I am now unable to update my server.
Please help me.

 

Thank  you.

Best regards,

Hi
Pls, be clear about this massage.

I have a question back about your update options. Where do you trying to get an update from?
.
1 download from Microsoft.
Or
2 your infrastructure already available for WSUS services?
.
Maybe I’m mistaken as your mean. Sorry for the weakness of my English.
I hope you and of your teams are fine in this covid period.
Thanks.

Just to clarify:

1) I downloaded the update package and tried to install. 

    I left the update running over the weekend and it still did not complete

2) Not using WSUS

 

Regards.
