First of all, thank you for maintaining this plugin. I'm having an issue with Windows Server 2019, where the updates only work some of the time When they don't work, I am not getting an error. I just see the following:

==> vsphere-iso.WinServer19: Uploading the Windows update elevated script... ==> vsphere-iso.WinServer19: Uploading the Windows update check for reboot required elevated script... ==> vsphere-iso.WinServer19: Uploading the Windows update script... ==> vsphere-iso.WinServer19: Running Windows update... ==> vsphere-iso.WinServer19: Shutting down VM...

I am defining the plug-in, like:

packer { required_plugins { windows-update = { version = "0.14.1" source = "github.com/rgl/windows-update" } } }

...and then running it by using:

provisioner "windows-update" { search_criteria = "IsInstalled=0" filters = [ "include:$true", ] update_limit = 25 }

I have run my script a number of times sequentially and there seems to be about a 50% success rate.
