Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer. (2024)

Windows Server 2012 R1.I cannot install any more/most security updates (the previous admin gave up I guess, leaving me a mess of vulnerabilities). I am stuck because the IE11 update (KB 4492872) refuses to install. This is a prerequisite for nearly everything that came after.

Can someone please help?

This is the one important Windows 2012 Server that I'd rather live out the remainder of its sorry life in its current incarnation. So, no, I do not want to build a new server from scratch and reinstall an old application. This is the last physical server in our otherwise virtual data center.

I've extracted just the suspicious contents of the CBS log and inserted as code below. But most of this is rather meaningless. What do the errors mean?
