    Hi, @Mike D

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The reason for the error "Instance has state: Local, NoRebootRequired" is that the Visual Studio instance is in a local state and does not require a reboot.

    To resolve this issue, you may try closing all Visual Studio-related processes running on your machine, rebooting the machine to ensure a clean state, and then attempting to install the Visual Studio update again.
