Windows server 2016 cumulative update fail to install for one month

Some things to try

• sfc /scannow
• dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
• additional resources for Windows Update - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn (manual steps)
• uninstall the last cumulative update then try installing the latest SSU followed by the latest cumulative update 
• a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of install media
•  
•

tried sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth that is no help

for uninstalling the last cumulative update then try installing the latest SSU followed by the latest cumulative update.  Related to "Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB5022289)" which one need to be uninstalled.

So, I didn't bother to check them all, but it appears since sometime going back at least to 2020 that SSU's are all that completed. My recommendation is to stand up a new one, patch fully, migrate roles over and move on.

Sorry I didn't get how to and what means for it?

It's simply put; stand up a new one from clean installation media, patch fully, migrate the roles over to it and move on.
