Some of my Windows 2012 servers did an automatic Windows Update this week and won’t boot up now after they automatically rebooted. This is regarding update 2021-KB5006739.
I get the following screen after reboot:
Repairing Windows doesn’t help. But I do have access to some very basic command prompt. I tried reverting the update via the DISM command.
But weirdly, if I check immediately after (even when not rebooting), a new update pops up in the list, with a slightly different name. But appears to be the same update. The time will be the current date (actually even 8 hours into the future or something, which is also very weird). It keeps reappearing again and again.
Is this the correct way to revert an update? Am I doing something wrong, causing the updates to reappear? Are there other reports about Windows update kb5006739 crashing servers?
Edit eventually if you keep removing the latest added, the update will not come back, and I assume it is completely removed. But rebooting the system did not resolve the issue. I guess the update just killed the entire system beyond repair.
