Correct path information of Windows Update
I have confirmed that the previously provided file path information was incorrect. The correct file path is: `%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Datastore.edb` This has been verified by collaboration with the Windows - DnD team. I have confirmed that this path is accessible on Windows Server 2019, 2022, and 2025. In addition, the following paths appear to require correction: ``` - `%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\*\edb.chk` - `%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\*\edb\*.log` - `%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\*\Edb\*.jrs` - `%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\*\Res\*.log` ``` On the othre hand, when I check the related file paths based on files generated in one of machines at my lab environment (Windows Server 2022), the following file paths were identified. ``` >dir /b /s %windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\DataStore.edb C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\DataStore.jfm C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb.chk C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb.log C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb00010.log C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb00011.log C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edb00012.log C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edbres00001.jrs C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edbres00002.jrs C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\edbtmp.log C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Datastore\Logs\tmp.edb ``` Could you please verify whether the paths listed above are correct or not? And please make any necessary adjustments if required.
