How can I skip or avoid Windows update KB5031356.

It will not install on my HP Laptop, and every time I try to install it, it fails and then locks my laptop up for hours trying to configure. I want/need other updates but is there any way I can automatically reject or ignore this particular update ?

    Please try using the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the problematic update. Window Update won’t install hidden drivers or updates. Run the troubleshooter then please try to hide KB5031356 update that will show in the list. You may try restarting your pc if it helps.
