I installed this update yesterday with no problems and just now when searching for updates it has shown up again. Any thoughts?

Well that's weird, could not use WU or manual to install from .293. I downloaded on the 7th of this month the latest ISO and did an inplace upgrade and now I have v295, so how is that possible if MS releases this today but it was available via ISO a week ago?
Tried for a day to get this update to work, used DISM, SFC, MS windows update troubleshooter, numerous "help topics" on various sites including Microsoft Doc's, registry hacks, even installed on laptop then copied update across to desktop to try and install....absolutely nothing worked (the update installed on laptop without issues).
Only way to get it installed was to do a repair install using MSMCT, after half an hour repair was done and the update was included during install with no issues.
Previous to doing the upgrade repair reading the windows update logs reveals the update was failing due to not finding update files (a long list all with ridiculously long alpha numeric names), however when I checked the downloads folder in software distribution folder those files and folders it couldn't find were actually there!
That's when I did the upgrade repair and everything worked. Go figure.
Just noticed since I installed the 295 update, when I use Alt+Esc to switch active windows, it's also including the windows that are minimized in the ones it switches to. This is new, never happened before and is very annoying.
This is not an insider build, can it still be reported through feedback?
An "expert" on another site was insisting it was failing because I had uninstalled certain apps which should have been left alone, another was adamant you have to disable Defender to install it, and so on and so on. Reality is both my laptop and desktop had the exact same build of Windows, customised in the exact same way, but laptop installed the update without issue, desktop kept failing.
There are probably as many "this is how to fix it" opinions as there are varieties of hardware, all I know for certain is that in my case a repair install fixed it, while still leaving my apps and custom settings alone, and didn't re-install any of the apps I had previously removed.
Yeah, that first bit is something I considered, as I remove a lot of unused and unnecessary stuff via PowerShell. But, as you said, I've done the same thing countless times on other hardware and never had an issue with updates failing like this, especially only CUs and nothing else. This only started with the first version of the 4505903 CU last month, and now seems to be specifically a CU problem. Not the end of the world, but still annoying that it won't just work.
