Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter

Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to detect and repair common problems with Windows Update.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.
  
• Choose Windows Update and click Recover the troubleshooter.
  
• The troubleshooter will try to find and resolve issues with the update installation.

System File Checker (SFC) can scan protected system files and attempt to repair corruption that may interfere with Windows servicing and update installation.

• To perform an elevated Command Prompt:
  
• Type: sfc /scan now
• Wait for the scan’s completion, and restart your server.

3. Use Deployment Imaging Servicing and Management (DISM)

Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) can check and repair the Windows component store when corruption is preventing updates from installing correctly.

An elevated Command Prompt may be used to execute the following commands:

• DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scan health
  
• DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restore health
  

Upon executing these commands, restart your server and try updating again.

4. Check CBS Logs for Specific Errors

Logs of Component-Based Servicing (CBS) have very detailed information about why updates fail.

• Open the folder C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log.
  
• Then look into the opened log file for error messages such as Failed to pin a deployment or ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING.
  
• These entries can help identify the component or servicing problem that is preventing the update from installing.
