Hi Mike, I have run the suggested command which has completed successfully. I can confirm I am receiving the same error. What do you suggest?

Has this instance ever worked before, or is it new? It could be a range of issues, but perhaps fundamentally it could be because of your OS. Server 2012 is EOL in a few months and I believe below the required system specs.

Other than that, it could be dependencies, renderer, or other things
