Hi all

August KB5004238 and KB5004752 will not install on Server 2016 Version 1607. Manually installing gives error ”The update is not applicable to your computer”

These two updates are in the ”Master Patch List”

What am I missing?

 

Thanks…..

Servicing stack update? https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/kb5001402-servicing-stack-update-for-windows-10-version-1607-april-13-2021-0c0367b8-2389-4154-a17e-6df57123423d

 

Alternatively look in update history and see if they’ve already been installed.

Strange not showing in update history but get ”All ready installed” message when I try to install.

Look in Installed Updates for what’s really installed on your computer.
View Update History, then click on “Uninstall updates” link at the top, That will take you to “Installed Updates”.
Confusing terminology is not new in Microsoft products.

Open up the file listing in the KB.  Grab a file listed there, look at the build number and date.  Go to the server and search for that file on the server.  Compare the dates.  Are they the same?  Then you are patched.  If they aren’t the same there is some older prerequisite that you are missing on that server.  When is the last time it was patched?

Thanks Susan I have just started, well a few weeks ago now managing the updates on the server. Was unmanaged for the last 2 years before I came along.

Yep turns out they were all ready installed.
