Welcome to TenForums.

It's really worth making time to browse through the Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every page.

- At the foot of the Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.

- Tutorials are also listed by category at Tutorials - there's also a shortcut to that at the top of every page.
- Both tutorial lists are searchable.
- You can also search for TenForumsTutorials in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com/tutorials after your search term. For example,
taskbar toolbars site:tenforums.com/tutorials

You can search TenForums using the search box in the top-right corner of all TenForums webpages or using Advanced Search - TenForums
- You can also search TenForums threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:tenforums.com after your search term. For example,
Search for drivers by HardwareID site:tenforums.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of TenForums webpages does automatically]

Thnx but when i realised it can be ignorable for my personal scenario, i just kicked it to darkest parts of my past :)

I also ignored it.
I have long since moved my Recovery tools to my OS partition & deleted my Recovery partitions.


And thanks for the rep,
Denis

But back to the thread's subject, KB5001716

MS routinely re-issues KB5001716 using the same KB number every time.
The current one is dated 5th March 2024 according to my WUMgr.
You don't really need to bother reading KB5001716: Update for Windows Update Service components - MSSupport but do note that the article lists 28 Feb 2024 dates for the update's contents so it is not the same as last October's version [and the download's contents date matches].
For x64 Windows 10 Version 22H2***, the direct download link is
https://download.windowsupdate.com/c...8840bcfff1.cab
You'll get one of those This is not a secure site warnings.
The filename contains its hash [the d92aa5a45222707542efa229d9cb0a8840bcfff1 bit] as normal if you want to check it after downloading it.
The download is a cab file containing an msi file.


According to sandyt post #30 & BleepingComputer, the older version of KB5001716 needs to be uninstalled before the new one is installed.
This seems very odd.
I'm often lazy about making new system images before Patch Tuesday. I think I'll make a new one now given the strange comments about it here & in other TenForums threads.


*** Judging by that MSSupport article, I think that it is the same download for Versions 2004, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2 and 22H2. You could check using WUMgr to get a direct download link as I did for mine.



All the best,
Denis
