I'm thinking when a Windows update isn't offered via WU, it's not important enough to bother pursuing.

This update fixes 2 things.
One is for a Domain Sever and the second is for an Intel processor feature.

I don't need either one on my systems so I will skip it.

I installed it from .cab file just to please Microsoft. So far, no issues.

KB5015020 also fixes the MS store app install problem on recent Intel & AMD CPUs:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/win...h2#2830msgdesc

After installing KB5011831 or later updates, you might receive an error code: 0xC002001B when attempting to install from the Microsoft Store. Some Microsoft Store apps might also fail to open. Affected Windows devices use a processor (CPU) which supports Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET), such as such as 11th Gen and later Intel® Core™ Processors or later and certain AMD processors.
Resolution: This issue was resolved in the out-of-band update KB5015020. It is a cumulative update, so you do not need to apply any previous update before installing it. To get the standalone package for KB5015020, search for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog. You can manually import these updates into Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For WSUS instructions, see WSUS and the Catalog Site. For Configuration Manger instructions, see Import updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Note KB5015020 is not available from Windows Update and will not install automatically.
Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 21H1; Windows 10, version 20H2
• ​Server: None

edit - I'll also pass on KB5015020 and wait for KB5014023 to show up on either WU or MUC
