Windows 10: Windows Update and Add/Remove Roles and Features Issues

Hey everyone, I am having quite big issues with Windows Update and Adding/Removing Roles and Features on my Server 2022 DC. When I try to install any updates even offline, I get error 0x800f0831 image attached of log and I get error 0x80073701 when I try to add or remove features image of log also attached. Here is a list of things I have tried:- Ran sfc /scannow, it did nothing.- Ran DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, which didn't complete successfully, due to some error where it couldn't find source files- Tried to install Windows Updates manually using WSUS Offline, which res

Cannot install anything from "Roles and Features"

I have Windows Server 2019 running on Parallels Desktop.

I cannot install additional "Roles and Features" from the server manager. No matter what I do, it fails silently.

Based on other knowledge base articles, I used the disk image and specified an alternate source path to \sources\sxs, but this made no difference whatsoever. Everything else (that I know of) works fine, and I can install Windows updates - but nothing from
"Roles and Features".

I don't see "Server" in the list of Windows versions on this forum, but I'm hoping this wouldn't make too much of a difference.

 

User.000 issue after updating to 1909

I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:

• Rebooted at least 6 times
• Enabled hidden Administrator
• Booted into Safe Mode
• Changed ProfileImagePath
• Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
• Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
• Rebooted and had temporary profile
• Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
• Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
• Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
• After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
• Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
