Dear @Michael Anderson,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

I apologize for any inconvenience you may encounter when using our services/ products. Based on your description, kindly try these following steps:

Step 1: Download the exact same version that is having issue

Download Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 6.0.36 (x64). Download .NET 6.0 (Linux, macOS, and Windows) | .NET

Step 2: Run the installer

• Double‑click the file
• When prompted, choose Repair (not Install)
• Let it finish completely
• Restart the PC

Step 3: Run Windows Update again

• Go to Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates
• The popup should disappear once the runtime updates cleanly.

I sincerely hope you understand that the initial steps I suggested may not have completely fixed the issue, as there may still be underlying causes that have not yet been identified. I am here to work closely with you, troubleshoot effectively, and explore every possible solution to ensure the best possible outcome.
