When I came back I found that basically the servers' desktop (ui) was semi-responsive. Decided it might be worth a go for the more comprehensive check.ĭISM quickly reached 20% but then hung there. I ran just before that same command but /Checkhealth and returned no errors. Did some reading and tried exactly ONE thing:ĭISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth Today I decided to do something about it. Reverting changes' loop requiring intervention.
I've fixed a few times in the past by applying patches one at a time - which works for a while - but inevitably returns the to 'failure configuring windows updates. I have a server 2012 instance that's been running for almost a year now (Hyper-V VM installed from scratch not image) that's more or less been a constant fight to apply patches.
