Windows update fails constantly (for weeks and months now) to update important security fixes. It is blocking 2023-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022282).

I followed the MS guide here, but can't get it fixed following that guide.

When I inspect the DISM logs, then it is blocking on: "Package missing its source: KB5010472"

I tried downloading package KB5010472 manually and installing it manually, but it says: "The update is not applicable to your computer." (for whichever version I pick).

I tried fixing it with the network shared c:\windows folder from another computer running the same Windows 10 21H2 version with the command:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:z:\

(where z: is the network shared c:\windows folder from the other computer.)

But is failed again with message:

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 10.0.19041.844 Image Version: 10.0.19044.1826 [==========================100.0%==========================] Error: 0x800f081f The source files could not be found.

The windows 10 version of the computer needing repair is:

Edition Windows 10 Home Version 21H2 Installed on ‎4-‎9-‎2020 OS build 19044.1826 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4180.0

Who knows how I can fix this very stubborn update problem that holds back important security updates?
