I'm trying to install WSUS on Server 2019 Standard. WSUS, and WID are selected along with additional features that are needed. However when I get top the "Confirm installations Selections" screen I get the message Highlighted in Yellow in the below Screenshot. I checked to make sure Windows update is accessible and has been updated, I've pointed to the Sources\sxs folder on the Server 2019 setup disc and ran sfc/scannow and I'm still getting the error. Any help with this would be appreciated. Screenshots below.

    Use an elevated PowerShell (Run as administrator) to install it

    Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices, UpdateServices-UI

    If you need to specify the source copy it to somewhere like C:\Temp\WinSxS and use

    Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices, UpdateServices-UI -Source "C:\Temp\WinSxS"
