Hello,

If all above steps fail, you may consider doing an in place upgrade:

Note: For the sake of double security, it is recommended that you back up your important data first to prevent unknown issue during the upgrade.

Answer 2

Hello,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.

Based on the description, I understand your question is related to install KB5048654.

Create folder C:\temp\cab

Download the update from Microsoft Update Catalog to C:\temp

Expand the .msu file to extract the .cab file by running below command in CMD:

expand -F:* C:\temp\{.msu file name with extension} C:\temp\cab

You will get a .cab file from last step, use the following DISM command to add package:

Dism /online /add-package /packagepath:c:\temp\cab\{.cab file with extension}

If there is no error, reboot the machine

Have a nice day.

Best Regards,

Molly
