So far, manually downloading and installing the MSU linked in the first post is working to install KB5001649.

Same issue for me, would not install using WU...

Tried the route from the catalogue to manually install, now installed and running correct version but seems that failed to start..

Any way to get rid of the failed entry?

You can paste this into notepad and save it as a .bat file:

Code:

@echo off

 

powershell -windowstyle hidden -command "Start-Process cmd -ArgumentList '/s,/c,net stop usosvc & net stop wuauserv & del %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs\edb.log & del /f /q C:\ProgramData\USOPrivate\UpdateStore\* & net start usosvc & net start wuauserv & UsoClient.exe RefreshSettings' -Verb runAs"

A fair warning is that it will erase all the Windows Update History not just the failed entry you want to get rid of.

Bad News: You'd have though it's just a matter of putting the files up on the server. No, the 'fix' for now is to stop offering it through WU.

Earlier:



But check for updates now and you get....

After updating with the MUC, I show:
