Hello Support,
Please, assist, as I attempted to install this december Windows 2012 R2 patches are failing on some servers, while on others its installing successfully.
I have attempted everything to repair, no luck.
This Event ID under Windows Update Client: Event 31: "Windows Update Failed to Download an Update".
Please help resolve as failing on two our domain controllers, a Micrososft CA and Windows File Server.
Might try manual download and install.

you'll only need one or the other, KB4592495 is security only. Also check the prerequisite SSU has been downloaded and installed.

Thanks for this. Totally forgot there were security only versions. This got me around one server that refused to install the primary one.
As I mentioned another possibility is a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of the install media, but I give this less than a 5% chance of working.
Time would likely be better spent standing up a new one. A replacement domain controller could be operational in about 30 minutes.

Hello Support,
I did attempted to manual download and install. The issue remains and also when downloading the SSU KB4566425, it says Security update for this patch is already installed. Please, let me know the next steps. These two patches are failing on 3-4 VM Windows 2012 R2 while on others its successful.
Please, let me know if you need me provide any specific logs which will help. Please, assist furthur.
May need to check the \windowsupdate.log file for error details. Also try;
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
also the manual steps here.

Hi,
I'm not sure about whether this is the reason why you couldn't download updates to your virtual machines but Starting in July 2020, all Windows Updates will disable the RemoteFX vGPU feature because of a security vulnerability.
You can try to re-enable RemoteFX vGPU then retry.

Hi Sir, but this option is for Hyper-V, not an actual VM, we have these VMs hosted on ESXi 6.7 and these are VMs.
Is there a specific settings which needs to be changed for a VM, I couldn't see any option to re-enable RemoteFX vGPU on a VM.
Please, let me know if you do and I follow these steps to check as well, like mentioned earlier the patches are successful on some VMs while others not successful.
@Eric White please, please let me know which update you was able to install successfully, m looking for a work around as well. Problem is those two updates failing on my two primary domain controllers, there fore i need to fix this update. Too risky to stand up new ones.
Please, help.
