Error while attempting to install Windows Server 2019 App Compatibility FOD

Windows Server 2019 now comes with the ability to install various GUI binaries into a core install of windows. This feature is really useful, but if you are in an enterprise environment with WSUS you may have trouble installing.

The error I was receiving when trying to install the pack:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name ServerCore.AppCompatibility~~~~0.0.1.0

Add-WindowsCapability failed. Error code = 0x8024500c



The resolution for me was to temporarily disable WSUS on the machine.
