Windows 10: Why is the Download button on Microsoft Update Catalog using HTTP instead of HTTPS???

Why are the Download buttons on the Microsoft Update Catalog webpage are using HTTP instead of HTTPS? Normal browsers refuse to download from HTTP links these days, especially executable files. And Microsoft Update Catalog is the *only* way to get certain important updates. See the 2021-11 Cumulative Update for Windows Server 2019 for x64-based Systems KB5008602.

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...
