I wasn't able to install windows updates on Windows 2016 Server.
I tested multiple scenarios with different outcomes :
No available updates to install
Dowloading works but not installating updates
For the record, i'm using a local wsus server instead of Windows Updates online but as it's w<orking well on windows 2019...the wsus isn't the problem.
I use the configuration of scenario 1 for Windows 2019 (core and gui are both working).

Scénario 2
Same behaviour between core and gui (download but no install)
Hello,
I wasn't able to install windows updates on Windows 2016 Server. I tested multiple scenarios with different outcomes :
For the record, i'm using a local wsus server instead of Windows Updates online but as it's w<orking well on windows 2019...the wsus isn't the problem. I use the configuration of scenario 1 for Windows 2019 (core and gui are both working).
Scénario 1
Different behaviour between core and gui version
Provisionner config
GUI Logs
CORE Logs (stays stuck)
Scénario 2
Same behaviour between core and gui (download but no install)
Provisionner config:
GUI Logs
Same as scenario 1
CORE Logs (stays stuck)
Same as gui
Does anyone has a working config ?
