Windows updates failing

[jimmy_2k]

Hi all,

 

I've tried to find a similar thread on here as i'm sure i'm not the only one with this issue. I have Server 2016 R2. I have been trying to update Windows so I can update SCCM. I have expanded the C Drive and each time I try and run any Windows update now I get a message that any updates have failed to install. I have run the Windows update troubleshooter and all issues are resolved apart from Potential Windows update database error detected. The troubleshooter can't resolve this issue. I've seen various stuff online but I wondered if someone can please point me in the right direction

 

Thanks

I can install KB4462928 Cumulative update for Windows server 2016 but it rolls back after install saying we could not complete the updates, undoing changes

Have you got the latest servicing stack installed?

Thanks. I've managed to crack it. I had to rebuild the update database by stopping the update service and trashing the database so it recreated itself. Sorry that I've not got the webpage link to hand otherwise i'd post it for others.
