Windows updates installed using the Windows Update Standalone Installer (WUSA) might fail with error ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME, when the update is installed using WUSA or double-clicking a .msu file from a network share that contains multiple .msu files.
WUSA is a method of installing updates using the Windows Update Agent API which is typically only employed in enterprise environments. It is not common in personal or home settings.
Please note that this issue does not occur when there is only one .msu file in the network share or when the .msu files are stored locally on the device. In addition, after installing an .msu file by double-clicking or using WUSA and restarting Windows, you might notice that the Update History page in Settings continues to indicate that a restart is required to complete the update. This is temporary and should be resolved on its own.
Workaround: To work around this issue, save the .msu files locally on the device and install the update from this location. Also, if you've restarted Windows after installing an .msu file via WUSA, please wait 15 minutes or more before checking the Update History page in Settings. After this short delay, the Settings app should properly indicate if the update installed successfully.
Mitigation: This issue is addressed using Known Issue Rollback (KIR) and is resolved automatically for most home users and non-managed business devices. Restarting your Windows device might help the resolution apply to your device faster.
