Problem

I can’t remember Windows being so diabolically bad at simply updating? I built a new 2016 server, simply to create a VM template, and it would not update;

There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep. seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information this may help: (0x800705b4)

Solution

Well that’s a very polite but useless error! (Thanks anyway). One thing I have noticed, is this tends to happen if one of the updates is an update for Windows Defender, so open that fist, and perform a manual update of that, then try again.

If that does not work, then run SCONFIG, and select  option 6.

A new windows will open, follow the instructions, (THIS TAKES AGES.) Seriously, start if going, and check it the next day!

After that, you should be good to go 🙂
