KB5001716 won't Download

Windows Update is saying:

Your device is missing important security and quality fixes.

But when I try to download, it gives me this error message:

There were some problems installing updates, but we'll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80070643)

When I run the troubleshooter, it says "all potential issues that were checked did not find any issue present". But when I close and restart, the error is still there.

I have scoured the internet in the past 2 weeks trying to find a resolution, but to no avail. Why isn't there any support for important updates like this?

    If the issue still persists, please try performing an In-place Upgrade. It will definitely help in resolving update errors. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while your personal files, settings and installed applications will not be removed.

    Few things to check on the PC

    **Unplug all external peripherals except for the Mouse, Keyboard, and LAN cable before starting

    **Disable or uninstall any 3rd party Anti-Virus program to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade

    Download the media creation tool (Click Download tool now) and save it to your computer.

    Open the tool and select Upgrade this PC now.

    Make sure to select Keep personal files and apps.

    It might take some time to install Windows 10. Your computer will restart a few times, make sure you don’t turn off your PC

    Kindly let me know if this helps or if you have any further concerns.
