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

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.

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

Hi @TylerB1985

Are you re-scanning for Windows Updates after you have renamed the SoftwareDistribution folder and Catroot2 ?
If yes, and you have verified was pulled from MU/WU servers, then you are getting it from an alternate source. Do you use WSUS in your environment?

You need to review the ReportingEvents.log from C:\windows\softwaredistribution folder? This file will tell you the from where the update is getting downloaded from.

Let me know the results,

Thanks,

Juan S

Well I'd checked my WSUS server first off, but apparently there was a disconnect between the keyboard and the chair. The first time I'd checked, I didn't find the update. This time I did. :(

Declined the update and all is well now. Thanks for the reminder.
