Hello guys, I am here once again to ask for your help.

The problem is Windows Server 2016 Update always gets stuck at 73% and after a long time(overnight) it just goes back to showing which updates are available without any error showing up.

Then when I try dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth it fails with an error

`Error: 14

Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.`

sfc /scannow did with success but problem still persits.

I attached few log files.

Any help is very much appreciated.

    Hi @Docs Thanks for the reply, the server has 64gb of RAM, usually around 30-40gb available, should I try manually installing those two Packages?

    With a reboot the maximum RAM will be available.

    Some error messages can be cryptic.

    Attempted manual installations can be tried and are trial and error steps.

    It's always best to make free backup images:
