Windows update KB4487022 download and installing issue

I am having the below issue with an aging Windows Server 2008. Prior to this there have been no issues installing updates.

The 'problem' update is 2019-02 Preview of Monthly Quality Rollup for Windows Server 2008. KB4487022.

From Windows Update, I get the following :-

From the Event Viewer (Application nad Services Logs, WindowsUpdate) I get an 'Event 31' with the text 'Windows Update Failed to download an update.'

---

What I know & have tried tried :-

• only the one update is offered, and it is optional.
• local WSUS is not in use.
• Other updates have installed correctly today. (Windows Defender definitions KB915597 ver 1.289.464.1)
• The server has internet connectivity.
• DNS Cache has been flushed
• Firewall and AV software have been disabled
• Rebooted server.
• Stopped WU and BITS service, cleared /SoftwareDistribution/Download folder and started services again.

• wuauclt /detectnow on admin cmd prompt. (created same error in Event Viewer as above)

• no relevant entries in Event Viewer under Applications or System Logs.

So far, searching on the error code, KB article and similar terms have not shown any useful results in google.

It's not critical as the update is optional, but I'd still like to know what is causing it. It suggests a networking issue, but given working netowrking and other updates being fine, I can't fathom this out.

Can anyone suggest next steps, or a possible cause?

Edit 1 -

As suggested by joeqwerty, i've downloaded the KB installer from the windows catalog. The download was fine, but the install failed with the same error code.

Edit 2 CBS Log

I've searched the CBS log, and only found the following lines which relate to this KB.

2019-02-25 07:39:48, Info                  CSI    0000020f@2019/2/25:07:39:48.515 CSI Transaction @0x22d34b0 initialized for deployment engine {d16d444c-56d8-11d5-882d-0080c847b195} with flags 00000002 and client id [26]"TI5.30723293:1212092951:1/"

I then did a further search for "0x22d34b0" in the log to see if there were any other entries, which came up negative.

I checked for Errors, and only found the following

I'm not sure the message is connected but there is also reference to this error 0x80248014. Googling gives this link :-

New link for fix

I'm going to follow the instructions, as they go a bit further than what I've already tried.

the new instructions didn't work. Windows update and the catalog down both provide the same error.

I had the same problem on one of my Server 2008 R1 machines, and was watching this question too but didn't have enough rep to comment my progress.

It looks like that update has now been superseded by KB4489880, which installs without issue. My guess is that it was a problem with the update rather than the server.

As for why the error code that was generated in the first place, the closest I could get to an answer was that the error code meant that the update was for a different operating system, but that was on another forum and I couldn't verify if that was true.
