Hi all,

I am struggling since 2 weeks to install the following update on a Windows Server 2016 -> 2022-10 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based Systems (KB5018411) -> I get the following error -> Error 0x80073701

I have used the following Microsoft article to reset Windows Update components -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/additional-resources-for-windows-update

Unfortunately without success. The installation of the update still failed.

Details about the environment

Windows Server 2016 Version 1607 (Build 14393.2906)

Installed programs:

258328-installed-apps.png

Through the CBS log, I am unfortunately not smarter. I really don't know what to do to solve the Windows Update problem.

Attached is the CBS log with the important section where the error occurs. The CBS log is too big to post here.

    The simplest / quickest solution is to stand up a new one, patch fully, migrate the roles or applications over and move on. You can also start a case here with product support.

    0x80073701 = ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_MISSING which means there are some system files are missing, which caused the update installation failure. You can also try a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of the install.

    I wouldn't hold much hope for this, time may be better spent standing up a new one, patch it fully, migrate the roles or applications over and move on.
