We recently had problems with a development server not installing Windows Updates. The fix was to repair the installation using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool.
All commands should be run from an elevated command prompt.
- Run
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
- Run
dism /online /cleanup-image /checkhealth
- Run
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
- Mount the Windows Server 2016 ISO as a drive (E: in this case)
- Run
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
/source:WIM:E:\sources\install.wim:1 /limitaccess - Run
sfc /scannow
- Run Windows Update
