My SharePoint 2013 site stopped working today and cannot find the source of the issue. I wonder if anybody has the expertise to work out what the error below means or how I can go about trouble-shooting the issue.

The windows server was installing updates at the time but this may just be a coincidence and can not find any updates that may have caused a problem. Tried restarting services/iis/application pools but no luck. Central admin also does not load

Thanks

  • You sure it is windows update only, becuase Now a days SharePoint Updates also part of WIndows updates. msprojectnow.com/Blog/tabid/142/entryid/813/…

Run the Configuration Wizard.

This should be the last step after updates have been installed.

(This should be done after hours as this does require IIS resets)

Install a software update (SharePoint 2013)

Should also help get you back into Central Admin

Go to the "/_admin/FarmServer.aspx" page from the central administration and if we have multi severs farm – check the upgrade status for each server in the farm like the below screen:

SharePoint Upgrade block status

Notes:

  • In this page for all servers in the farm should be upgrade is not required.
  • If the upgrade is required, please upgrade them one by one.
  • If it showed upgrade blocked, we must upgrade all servers in the farm, otherwise, none of the sites will gent opened.
  • Before running the Wizard, make sure to take all necessary backups.
