Hi there, I have a physical WS2016 standard which cannot by any mean install KB5006669.
All tricks I tried don't work, it reverts the update at reboot.

The CBS log is almost impossible to open given its size of 60MB and plus growing quickly...

Anybody else with the issue of this update?

Windows Server 2016
Windows Server 2016

    Hi @David Schmidt ,

    Just to make sure, did you install the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) before attempting to install the KB5006669 update?

    I've seen a few with problems installing this specific update, however not many solutions have been provided, here's one thread which has one which you could refer to:
