Security Update for Windows Server 2019 for x64-based Systems (KB4535680)

Question

I know this update was pulled. Anyone know how to remove it from a server as a pending update?

I have looked for this file: C:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml and it's not there. I have also stopped Windows Updates and BITS and removed the C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution folder. Still no luck.

Answer 1

Hello @TylerB1985

Move to an admin cmd and run:

dism /online /get-packages /format:table

look for the update, it should show as "Install Pending"

Copy the package name and type:

dism /online /remove-package /packagename:NameOfPackage

Let me know the results,

Juan S

Its probably because of Secure Boot. There are other XCP-NG virtualization articles saying Secure Boot has to be enabled in the Bios for this update to take.

Answer 3

For everyone still having this problem:

1) I tried, without success (still having the same error) the SCRIPT used here: https://www.dell.com/community/PowerEdge-Hardware-General/Windows-Update-KB-KB4535680-failed-to-install-to-Server-2016/td-p/7806198/highlight/true/page/3

2) I DISABLED the update, so that OHTER updates could be installed without being reverted by this update (i was having a lot of troubles trying to install other updates except this one!). I used a m$ tool that is no longer available: https://web.archive.org/web/20210101181956/http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/2/F22D5FDB-59CD-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/wushowhide.diagcab
