Hello, i would like to update this Windows 8.1 installation to Windows 10. It is hosted as a VM inside Parallels Desktop 14 on a MacPro5,1 with MacOS 10.11.6. The DISM error 0x800f081f often occurs after running the 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth' command on a Windows 10 or Windows 8 based computer, in order to repair the Windows image. To Windows 8.1 from Windows 8. Is this something take a try to reset the Windows update components. Then try to run the command and check the 6.2.9200.16384 Image Version: 6.2.9200.16384 100.0% Error: 0x800f0906 The source files could not be downloaded. Summary: Operation: Detect and Repair.
You can remove the /Source tag and let it search against the microsoft servers for component corruption.
This is why a lot of members are going to recommend against doing an OS upgrade, especially on servers, unless it's absolutely necessary. Is there a common theme to what is causing server manager and the BSODs, or are we looking at multiple issues?
The other option for the KB you mentioned is you can probably open the .exe and pull out the .cab file and manually install it with a DISM call to bypass using a wusa call for it.

Windows 8 and 8.1 do not allow you to install Dot Net 3.5 using an internet connection… which is its default. The solution is to extract the SXS folder from your install media and then run a command line install with the following:
0x800f0906 Error Fix
- Insert your Windows 8 (or 8.1) DVD or ISO (in item 3 below, I assume your DVD or mounted ISO is “D”)
- Start an elevated CMD prompt
- Dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx3 /All /Source:D:sourcessxs /LimitAccess
Dism Error 0x800f0906 Server 2016
Error 0x800f0906 Windows 8.1 Dismiss
Fear not, .NET 3.5 and .NET 4.5 (which is built into Windows 8.1) function nicely together.
