I'm not sure we're understanding quite what's happening. My guess is you may have a Chrome extension or setting that tells Chrome to use utorrent as your download program.

Please post screenshots...

That all looks fine so far- which is encouraging..

..that's at the end of my post..



Yes, it's really useful.. Filemenu Tools may be worth looking at too..

Hi, easy way- get a copy of this useful free program:

First, you have 21H2. 21H2 comes after 20H2.
Second, you have Home. What you quoted is about Windows Server.

So.. you can see you shouldn't be worrying. (Well, you probably should be - about...

Hi, welcome to tenforums.

Not generally. What is the error number?

How is failing? Are you using Windows Update as normal to apply it?

Well, the forum asked you this:
