What I've found is that for one reason or another, one of the files included
in the update update properly. What I've done is check to ensure that the
update has installed (go to programs in the control panel where you normally
uninstall programs) if it has, from the Windows update, uncheck the update,
then after you highlight the update, right click and select hide. you won't
be bothered by the update trying to re-install.
For me, this happens mostly with the Windows Defender updates....
