Yes, I tried that. I downloaded this file:

windows10.0-kb5048652-x64_279b3aca56a2aa72aa2d08ccc30fad69bd5a1e29.msu

Attempting to install it manually resulted resulted in the following
error message:
___________________________________________________________________________________________

Download and Install Updates	X

Some updates were not installed
The following updates were not installed:
Security Update for Windows (KB5048652)
				[Close]
___________________________________________________________________________________________

I've spend many hours with MS's Copilot attempting to determine what the
issue is and overcome it:

DISM absolutely refuses to run to completion, no matter what I do, no
matter where I tell it to find the needed files.

I really didn't want to have to elucidate what I have attempted
so far. This is why I phrased the question in my OP the way I did.

I made absolutely sure I was getting the correct one when I downloaded
the update .mru several days ago:

- I'm not running a 32 bit version of W10
- I'm not running an LTSB version of W10
- I'm not running an ARM64 based computer

Thus, the download I wanted was the second one from the bottom, "2024-12
Dynamic Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based
Systems (KB5048652)". That download was named (and I still have that file
stored away):

windows10.0-kb5048652-x64_279b3aca56a2aa72aa2d08ccc30fad69bd5a1e29.msu

I just attempted to redownload that file and instead got a .cab file named:

windows10.0-kb5048652-x64_59844d513d571636b5711a4a01037f5f64a98f63.cab

where the name includes the correct SHA1 value of
59844d513d571636b5711a4a01037f5f64a98f63

which I verified.

Yes, I experienced this days ago at some point. However, when I
attempted to manually install the first download, I got no such error
message.

I installed the most recent Servicing Stack Update several days ago,
when I was was attempting to manually install the update.

Already did this when I first noticed the problem. I'm running Windows
10 Pro version 22H2 build 19045.5131.

I am not a programmer. I'm just an end user. And my research has shown
me that I am by far not the only person experiencing the problem. It's
infuriating to have to go through this kind of difficulty and see that
Microsoft apparently has no intention of dealing with the issue.

Seems coincidental that this kind of thing would occur just when
Microsoft is attempting to get every Windows 10 user to go to Windows 11.

Regardless, since the download seems to have changed I'll give it
another try.

The instructions I found for using a .cab file to do the update are:

Command Prompt:

1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
2. Type dism /online /add-package /packagepath:"PATH\TO\CAB" and press
Enter.
3. Allow the process to finish without interruption.

The command prompt I prefer is Powershell in Administrator mode.


Thanks for replying, Paul. I appreciate your trying to help. Maybe
attempting to install the most recent download manually will work, maybe
not. I'll try it and let you know if it works.
