Checked the Update Log file:
There is a log event with “An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action. The object SPFarm Name=<Config-DB-Name> is being updated by <Farm-Admin-Account>, in the STSADM process, on machine <Server-Name>.  View the tracing log for more information about the conflict.”

Solution:

  • Clear config Cache as per Microsoft KB: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/939308/ and run the PSconfig wizard again!
  • Try Runing: stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname command-line-upgrade-running -propertyvalue no  and then PSConfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force

  • Just execute this stsadm command first “stsadm -o setproperty -pn command-line-upgrade-running -pv Yes”

    and then run psconfig again.
