How to Re-Install SCCM Current Branch Updates

I recently updated it to 1806 and noticed something was missing when the Third Party Software Updates  feature wasn't available to enable in the console. 

I checked the log file CMUpdate.log in the directory below.  There was a lot errors seemingly in validating the files but nothing that I can make out to see what caused why it had the issues.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\

To reinstall the components, you would perform a site reset.

From MS, when a site reset runs at a central administration site or primary site, the site: (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/servers/manage/modify-your-infrastructure#bkmk_reset)

  • Reapplies the default Configuration Manager file and registry permissions
  • Reinstalls all site components and all site system roles at the site

The update should be in this directory below and run the splash.hta to bring up the menu.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\cd.latest\

Click Next and select the Reset site with no configuration changes.

You can view the log from the View Log button during the progress.
