    After running the command "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" as an administrator, restart your computer. Then run the command "sfc /scannow" to see if the issue resolved.

    1. Download the latest version of Curl from the official website. - is this the official website? - https://curl.se/windows/ if so why not remove the mystery here, people are fearful of the results google ai offers them (including me)
    2. Extract the downloaded file to a folder on your Windows Server. - wait, I wanted this for the user computers, not the server - so now I am left wondering if this is the right set of directions for a local computer.

    You should avoid doing any of these workarounds as they generally have to be constantly undone and redone to avoid breaking Windows Updates. DISM is a method that can be used to undue such workarounds.

    The update to curl 8.4.0 was already provided in November 2023 cumulative updates on November 14, 2023. So as long as your servers and client devices have updates through November 2023 or newer, the updated curl will already be installed.
