Microsoft is aware of Windows Server KB5037765 0x800f0982 error
As part of Windows May 2024 Patch Tuesday, Microsoft is rolling out two updates for Windows Servers: KB5037782 (Server 2022) and KB5037765 (Server 2019). While the update fixes the NTLM issue, KB5037765 for Windows Server 2019 fails to install with error 0x800f0982.
KB5037782 is a mandatory security update for Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 LTSC version 1909 with several quality bug fixes. For example, this update patches a bug where some VPN connections could fail. It’s unclear what went wrong with VPNs, but many users told Windows Latest they now get 0x800f0982 error when downloading the May 2024 Patch.
I’m told Microsoft is aware of a server-side problem where Windows Server KB5037765 could fail to install with 0x800f0982 in regions like Germany, France, Spain and more. A fix will be rolled out to everyone in the coming hours, and it happens only when an English language pack is not installed.
If you can’t wait for the automatic fix, you can manually install the language pack to fix the 0x800f0982 error:
- Open Settings > Language > Time & language. Click on Language.
- Under the Preferred languages section, click on “Add a language“.
- In the Add a language window, type English in the search bar.
- Select English (United States) from the list, and click Next.
- Select Install Language Pack and click Install to begin downloading the US Language Pack.
- Go to Settings > Updates & Security, and start checking for updates. You’ll be able to install the updates normally.
