  • Hello - I encountered the same issue updating Windows 10 22H2 with the November patch KB5032189. After modifying curl.exe through Group Policy in early November, Windows Update and SFC both failed with a hash mismatch error for curl.exe, even after reverting permissions.

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    sfc /scannow

    After these ran successfully, I was able to proceed with the update.

    If you previously distributed a non-Microsoft version of curl.exe, make sure it’s replaced with the official Microsoft version, as updates will fail if the hash doesn’t match. For environments with many affected machines, consider deploying a scripted fix using your central management tools.
