Hello.

Whenever I try to update a Windows Server 2019 there is an update that always fails:

Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.349.1608.0)
Install error - 0x80070643 (see attached image)136119-20210929bleoneupdate-error.jpg

The WinDefend service cannot be started (see attached image)136221-20210929dleoneupdate-error.jpg136156-20210929cleoneupdate-error.jpg

It looks like there's something to be cleaned up..

Can anybody help me sort this out?

Thank you and best regards.
Roberto

    Hello.

    Anybody on this?

    I can add that I found this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-resources
    but because this server includes WSUS and SCCM (that controls WSUS), I though I'd better ask for advice on this forum.

    Can I safely run the wsus reset components commands suggested in that microsoft document on my sccm server?

    Can anybody help me sort this out?

    Thank you and best regards.

    Hi there,

    I would suggest you to manually Install the KB updates from the update catalog
    https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=edge

    Please try to run the .Net Framework repair tool and check if that helps.

    Reset Windows Update components manually
