Cumulative update KB5040434 not getting installed in Windows server 2016 Domain controller

Also this domain controller takes 2 hours in this screen to reach desktop after reboot of this domain controller

I have noticed that when I tried to login to this domain controller for the first time after the reboot, the login stuck at the above OTHER USER WELCOME screen, not only for my account in domain admins group, for my colleague who is in the same domain admins group also faces the same delay of hours to reach the desktop. If I logoff and log back again, it is instantly reaching the desktop. Only for the first time login after the reboot of the domain controller, this delay happens

Anybody please advise on this issue

Hello Techshan,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot this problem:

1. Look at the Event Viewer logs to identify any specific errors or warnings related to the update failure. This can provide more insight into what went wrong.
2. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter to detect and fix any problems with the update process.
3. Run chkdsk /f /r to check for and fix any disk errors.
4. Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.

Follow it with sfc /scannow.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,

Hello Daisy Zhou.

Thank you for your reply,

I have done already the sfc /scannow already but found no violation

I am pasting below the few contents of the CBS log :

2024-09-15 08:13:11, Error                 CBS    Startup: A possible hang was detected on the last boot. [HRESULT = 0x800f0920 - CBS_E_HANG_DETECTED] ,

2024-09-15 08:13:11, Error                 CBS    Startup: No progress detected while needing to process the advanced operation queue, rolling back and cancelling the transaction. [HRESULT = 0x80004005 - E_FAIL]

For this kind of errors, I have seen the below MS link as the solution in one forum

Hello everyone,

Successfully installed the patch manually, after following the steps recommended from Microsoft as below

Workaround

To work around this issue, set the time-out value to a larger value in the registry, and then reapply the hotfix. To do this, follow these steps:

1.     Start Registry Editor.

2.     Locate the following subkey: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TrustedInstaller

3.     Right-click the TrustedInstaller key, and then click Permissions.

4.     Grant the Full Control user right to the Administrators group.

5.     Change the BlockTimeIncrement value to 2a30 (Hexadecimal).

 Note

This change sets the time-out value to three hours. This should be sufficient for most situations. However, you may have to try a larger value in your environment.

6.     Restart the server, and then apply the hotfix again.
