I'm trying to update from KB5056579 to KB5062553, but I keep running into error code 0x80073712, which says, "Some update files are missing or have problems." I've already attempted a few things, but I'm getting nowhere. Any tips on how to resolve this issue?

Sometimes a corrupted or partially downloaded update can throw this error. It might fix itself, but if it gets stuck in a loop, you can manually clear out the 'SoftwareDistribution' folder where Windows Updates are kept. Here’s a great tutorial on how to do that: [Clear SoftwareDistribution Folder](https://www.windowscentral.com/how-clear-softwaredistribution-folder-windows-10). Give it a shot!
You could try rolling back the update using the 'go back' option in settings. If that doesn't help, run some repair commands first. Open your command prompt and type:
1. sfc /scannow
2. chkdsk c:
3. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
These tools can fix missing or corrupted files that might be causing the problem.
