Tried:
- Run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard
- psconfig -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -force
Both resulted in a failure during step 9.
Took a closer look at the logs to find the error; noticed this block:

Therefore, took the plunge and decided to force through the deploy of the application content and features:
PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -force -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures
This solved the problem. Silly me, should pay more attention to those logs, was difficult seeing the wood for the trees but got there in the end!
Hope this helps you if you run into the same issue?
