I guess this is a two part question.
A couple of months back my Windows server 2012 failed during windows update. I let it slide for a while because I didn't want to stop the applications and services running. Now I have 39 pending updates that I want to install but I can't because I get the message "we couldn't complete the update Undoing changes."
does anyone have any insight as to how I can individually install the updates manually so my server can be up-to-date?
Also I've just tried to restart and complete the updates and now my Windows server 2012 has been "getting windows ready" for the past 3 hours.
I don't know if it's busy undoing changes, or successfully applying the updates, or if the system is just hung. It's strange because from the other computers on the network, tthe shared folders are visible yet Windows server 2012 is not...
