Windows update KB5053603 for Windows Server 2022 keeps failing with code 0x80070057. I have run dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth

dism /online /cleanup-image /ScanHealth

dism /online /cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

No errors were found. I have re-run the update after those steps and it still fails. I have also used the windows update troubleshooter and it detected and indicates it fixed an error, but after trying again, it still fails.

Windows Server 2022
