Not able to install the latest cumulative updates on customized Windows 10 2016 LTSB 1607 x86.

Question

We have created a customized Windows 10 2016 LTSB 1607 x86 for the medical device. The OS has not been patched since 2020. Now we are trying to install the August 2024 cumulative update offline by downloading the CU and SSU. The installation fails with the error 2147943850 "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service."

***moved from Windows / Windows 10 / Windows update, recovery, and backup***

Answer 1

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to install update.

Please firstly run below command to scan some system files and check result:

sfc /scannow

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /restoreHealth

Create folder C:\temp\cab 

Download the update from Microsoft Update Catalog to C:\temp 

Expand the .msu file to extract the .cab file by running below command in CMD: 

expand -F:* C:\temp{.msu file name with extension} C:\temp\cab

You will get a .cab file from last step, use the following DISM command to add package: 

Dism /online /add-package /packagepath:c:\temp\cab{.cab file with extension}

If there is no error, reboot the machine

Have a nice day. 

Best Regards,

Molly

Hi Molly,

Thanks for responding.

sfc /scannow command could not be performed.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /restoreHealth command failed with error 1450. Please find the attached screenshot. DISM command is also failing due to insufficient system resources.

Let me know if you need take a look at any system logs.

Hello,

It seems the error is 1450: "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service" when running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Ensure that no other programs are consuming too many resources. You can do this by opening Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), identifying resource-heavy processes, and ending them.

Then retry the command.

Hi Molly,

I have ensured that there is no other resource-heavy process running. The system is running in clean boot while running the DISM command.
