Anyone else experiencing an issue with installing KB4550961 (April 2020 Cumulative Update for x64 1909) on Windows Server 2012 R2? It’s failed on me 4 times since Tuesday.

Haven’t tried any of the regular troubleshooting steps for Windows Update yet. Wanted to see if others were having trouble first.

I approve/apply all patches through ManageEngnie Desktop Central.

Could you provide more information? Maybe you get some error messages? Have you checked the logs?

Also, I found this link with known issues Resources

I did not find the situation you mentioned on the Windows Server 2012 R2 server in the test environment. Please consider providing specific error information, which will help the problem analysis.

Hello gentlemen,

I did perform some troubleshooting steps now but I am still having issues installing KB4550961 update. I did the standard stop bits/cryptsvc/wuauserv and renamed SoftwareDistritbution to SoftwareDistribution.old. This did not clear the issue, however.

I have also ran SFC /scannow and it showed all is clear with no issues. I’ve also done a DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and most recetly a DISM /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore followed by /startcomponentcleanup.

I’ve downloaded the patch directly from the Microsoft Update Catalog repository and tried applying that way, but it’s a no go there as well.

The particular error I am receiving now is: 80073701, which is a reference to a SxS assembly being missing or corrupted**.** However, it seems the componentcleanup should have fixed any particular problems there.

Looks like it just needed a restart after running the component cleanup commands. Thanks everyone!

So the solution in my case was run DISM /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore followed by DISM /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup. Then a restart.
