Windows Server 2012 R2 – Fixing Update Stuck After Restart at 9%

windows-server-2012-r2windows-update

I installed windows server 2012 R2 on a server with IIS, SQL, TFS and some other Microsoft products. After finished installation, I ran windows update which asked for restart to continue installation.

After restart, update continues till 9% then it stops for ever!!!

I failed to start it also with safe mode or last good know configuration mode!

I don't have a recovery image CD for my installation.

What should I do? how can I either fix the issue or cancel the installation?

Thanks for help

Try to access cmd from troubleshooting or SafeMode console, then run the following command:

dism.exe /image:C:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions

Windows Server 2012 Inplace upgrade fails

It looks like your current Windows Server 2012 installation is corrupted. The error 0x800F0830 means the following:

C:\Users\André>err 0x800F0830
# for hex 0x800f0830 / decimal -2146498512
  CBS_E_IMAGE_UNSERVICEABLE                                      cbsapi.h
# The image has been damaged by an offline servicing failure
# and no further servicing is allowed
# 1 matches found for "0x800F0830"

You must do a clean install, the upgrade is blocked.

I have had the same problem on one of my production servers and, finally, MS support helped me: Go to the registry and export the following key : export and delete the following registry value, and then re-attempt the update: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers\ make sure you leave the Publishers key empty.

If you are using ARM VM, than you can easily restore it from backup, test there and, if all is OK - perform the same on production VM
