  • That's not the issue and the SCP can be ignored. This is the issue: ERR Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.SharePoint.Upgrade.SPContentDatabaseIntegrity.CheckAppOrphans()

Reset to default

Try to use the CLI version psconfig.exe instead of the GUI psconfigui.exe with the following command (elevated SharePoint PowerShell):

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install

Now it gets weired: If this command also issues an error, execute it again without further troubleshooting, log analysis, ... In most cases, your update will perform successfully. If not: Post your errors again please.
