Problems installing KB5013941 on Win10 LTSC 2019 (1809) x86

Question

Hi,

I have been trying different things for 2 days to get KB5013941 to install on Win10 LTSC 2019 (1809) x86, without success. It gets to 95-98% complete and then rolls-back and uninstalls.

The CBS log has the following error information:

I have tried the following so far:

sfc /scannow => did report an error and correct it, but update still won't install (neither directly after sfc run, nor after rebooting after sfc run)

NOTE: this is used in an embedded product, so any "fixes" need to be something I can script.

Any help would be appreciated!

SUCCESS!!!! Enabling and automatically starting the "App Readiness" service appears to have allowed the May 2022 update to finally install properly.
The hint came from the following post: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/844237/can39t-setup-kb5012636-on-rdsh-servers.html
