    The update servers may be taxed since it just released, did you try the direct approach? https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5014668   In your pict it says your updates are paused so that may be interfering, check all those tabs and see whats setup. Also anything like o&o shutup tools def need to be disabled while you try to do it.

    I downloaded and attempted to install manually. The MS update failed to install using this method.

    In that case I would try using system restore to go back a few days and try again.

    Did you look in the event viewer to get more details on the error? Youre sure this update isnt already on your pc?
