I'm having trouble updating my Windows 10 Education system, which is currently at version 22H2. The PC specifications are: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor, 32GB RAM, and AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics. Although it's labeled as 'Education,' I have a personal license from my university, and I'm managing it myself—it's not connected to any university servers. I've been away and shut down the PC from July to September, and now when I try to update, I'm getting messages saying that important updates are missing, preventing me from moving forward. I've been attempting to manually download the updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog, but I'm having trouble specifically with kb5062554, and I've even got logs showing the failures. I've rebooted multiple times and tried various fix options. I'm really out of ideas!

I had a similar issue once and resolved it with a repair install of Windows 10. You might want to check this guide: [Repair Install Windows 10](https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html). This method can usually fix underlying problems without wiping your data. Give it a shot!
It sounds like your system might still have some leftover policies from when it was associated with the university. If you haven't done a clean installation since you built it, that could be the issue. Unfortunately, there aren't always straightforward fixes for policy issues, especially if they were applied by Group Policy systems from the university. You might want to consider reformatting and doing a fresh install of Windows. If you're open to it, Windows 11 could be a good option! Just a thought!
I didn't get it from the university. I built it myself and installed Windows 10 with their activation key. I want to avoid Windows 11 and would prefer switching to Linux later, but I need my PC up and running before I can do that.
