My windows Server running version 2016 has suddenly started to produce an error when installing updates or trying to add new roles or features.
for exmaple i see this in teh seup event log
Package KB??????? failed to be changed to the installed state. Status 0X80070490
This happens to any update that i try to install.
it also stops new roles or featuers being installed.
i have tried loads of things including
resetting windows update.
deleting c:\windows\softwaredistribution
deleting c:\windows\ system32\cartroot2
running sfc /scannow
running DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth
running DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
varuous other things.
run windows update
the updates are listed
select install
they fail with the error
Any help / suggestions would be much appreciated.
