2025-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 (KB5066586) Undoes Update on Reboot
We have a Windows Server 2019 Standard which will not install the 2025-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 (KB5066586) update. The installation part goes fine, but when the server is rebooted to finalize the update, it goes into "Undoing changes". Then it reboots again, and I am back where I started. The error code is 0x8007000d. I have done the following to debug this: Ran System File Checker sfc /scannow. No errors found. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth. No errors found. Ran Windows Update Troubleshooter. No errors found. Shut down Windows Update services. Renamed SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders. Restarted services. No change. Ran ScanDisk. No errors found. Disabled antivirus. No change. Ran Disk Cleanup and manually deleted additional temp files. No change. Checked Event Viewer. Only error is Event 20 which is a failure of the Windows Update Agent. I am out of ideas. If anyone has some, I would much appreciate the help. I am out of ideas.

We had this same problem back in August with the 2024-08 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 KB5041578, slow performance and freezing. Here we go again with KB5050008. Remote Desktop does not respond. It freezes up for minutes. We have SQL Server and Terminal Server on this Windows Server 2019 and people can't access it through Remote Desktop. I had to uninstall KB5050008. The server went back to normal. I don't a repeat of this with every Windows Server update. Please advise.
