KB5004947 "this update is not applicable to your computer"

Question

We ran a scan that said we were missing KB5004947 (and I realize this had been superseded). It doesn't show as available from updates on the VM itself, and the standalone I get the error. It is not installed (update history).

Windows Server 2019

ran the following and rebooted:

SC config trustedinstaller start=auto

net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

net stop msiserver

net stop cryptsvc

net stop appidsvc

Ren %Systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Ren %Systemroot%\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll

regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll

regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll

netsh winsock reset

netsh winsock reset proxy

rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN

dism /Online /Cleanup-image /ScanHealth

dism /Online /Cleanup-image /CheckHealth

dism /Online /Cleanup-image /RestoreHealth

dism /Online /Cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup

Sfc /ScanNow

net start bits

net start wuauserv

net start msiserver

net start cryptsvc

net start appidsvc

This is the July 6, 2021—KB5004947 (OS Build 17763.2029) Out-of-band If you have any newer cumulative update installed then it is as you said superseded and "not applicable" would be expected behavior.
