would like to ask if someone might ever come to a similar problem.

Recently, one of my Hyper-V hosts crashed due to BSOD, and all of the VMs also "went down".

I was able to repair almost every VM but one.

I am performing the DISM.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth command and also sfc /scannow

In CBS logs I can see that there are missing CBS Catalogues:

Checking System Update Readiness.

The real problem here is that I can not find "KB5006669" on the Microsoft Update Catalogue because it is already EXPIRED...

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/october-12-2021-kb5006669-os-build-14393-4704-expired-bcc95546-0768-49ae-bec9-240cc59df384

Some details:

Windows Server 2016 Standard Current build: Version 1607 (OS Build 14393.6796)

On a different VM with a similar problem (also "CBS Catalog Missing") I was able to download the update and use it as a source for DISM repair.

I have tried:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth /source:PATHtoFolderWithExpandedUpdate /LimitAccess

It worked and fixed the missing catalogs.

Unfortunately in the current problem, I am not able to obtain the KB5006669. Is there any archive site where I can get that update? I have also tried to use Windows Server 2016 ISO (the newest) as the source for repair. No luck with that either.

    Hello,

    According to your description, I suggest that using a good machine OS image to repair or copy all Winsxs fold from the good machine to repair by using dism command. It means that the machine will check the good image or good WinSXS file to scan the package. Just like below:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G\Sources\install.wim /LimitAccess

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:G\WinSXS /LimitAccess

    Some information below may helpful.
