I’m experiencing repeated Windows Update failures on my server. In the dberr log, I’m seeing multiple entries like:

catadnew.cpp at line #1252 encountered error 0x00000057

This happens when Windows attempts to process catalog files for updates, specifically:

KB5062064

KB5062799

Example log excerpt:

vbnet
Copy
CatalogDB: 8:50:33 PM 7/27/2025: DONE Adding Catalog File (32ms): Package_for_DotNetRollup~...
CatalogDB: 8:50:34 PM 7/27/2025: DONE Adding Catalog File (15ms): Package_for_KB5062064~...
CatalogDB: 9:33:11 PM 7/27/2025: catadnew.cpp at line #1252 encountered error 0x00000057

From what I understand, error code 0x00000057 is ERROR_INVALID_PARAMETER, which might indicate corruption in the catalog database or an issue with the servicing stack. I have already restarted the update services, but the problem persists.

Is this a known issue for KB5062064 / KB5062799 updates in July 2025?
