Windows 10: Problems installing updates from Microsoft Catalog Site

winver = 1709 OSBuild 16299.125
Arch = 64bit

I've installed this version of win 10 and am trying to install the latest cumulative update from the microsoft catalog site aka https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com.

I did a search for "windows 10 1709 cumulative x64" the top entry is:

2019-10 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1709 for x64-based Systems (KB4520006)
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft...9-5f04adee47e1

However after downloading and trying to install I get the error message:

The update is not applicable to your computer.

Event Log:

Windows update could not be installed because of error 2149842967 "" (Command line: ""C:\Windows\system32\wusa.exe" "E:\Windows_10_1709_Updates\windows10.0_Cumulative_10_19_kb4520006-x64_2f2ddb6bf0645ee375d93f7da097535c9d25d929.msu" ")

I must be missing something simple. I even tried the oldest 1709 64bit cum update but received the same error.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Download and Install Windows Update from Microsoft Update Catalog


Another way:
Download WHDownloader (Windows Hotfix Downloader) 2.2
Unzip to desktop or where ever then run.

1. Download the KB's list from catalog. Should run when starting the program to get the latest list.
2. Select Office/Windows edition
3. Put check mark(s) to select the KB's
4. Download Updates.

NOTE: The KB's with huge file size are normally the cumulative updates from one version to next. If you are currently running 1607 then you'd need to run the KB for 1073 first then run the next one (1709), The rest of the KB's are security updates, Flash Updates etc...
