Hi, I'm Estrella. I'll do my best to help you.

Execute the Windows Update troubleshooter:

Navigate to Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update, then click Run.

2 Reset Windows Components

In your search bar type CMD and right-click it, select run as administrator

Copy and paste each of the commands below then Enter:

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

Restart your PC once done and then try again.

If that fails, the next step is to try System Recovery without deleting your files and apps.

Click the Start menu > Settings > System > Recovery.

Choose Reinstall Now under the section labeled 'Fix problems using Windows Update.'

Once completed, your system will restart. Please check afterward.

This was not helpful for me.
I don't like this way of doing trial and error. Try this maybe it will work...
The real issue here is that Windows Update is not raising correctly the problem. Everything is obscure and nobody can't understand what went wrong.

I believe this tool is flaky and the support approach may be considered unprofessional.

I don't want trial and errors "maybe this solves". I'd like Windows Update to tell ma what is wrong. What is happening here is obscure to say the least.

Obviously I tried all this to no avail...

I had the same issue with this update. What worked for me was clearing the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folders, then running Windows Update again.

Steps:

Open CMD as Administrator.
Run: net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver
Restart the PC and check for updates.

After this, KB5062553 installed successfully.
