    Sounds like something is now broken. Some things to try.
    sfc /scannow
    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    manual steps here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/additional-resources-for-windows-update#reset-windows-update-components-manually
    a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of install media.

    Try backing of the UAC setting, also make sure to run this process elevated as administrator.

    You can also try the repair install but I wouldn't hold too much hope, time may be better spent standing up a new one, patch fully, migrate roles over and move on.
