KB5078885 msu package is a like a service pack

KB5078885 msu package is a like a service pack ? or it's necessary to install other package for clean new installation offline

(i use the last iso 22h2 provided by microsoft with kb5033372 from 12 december 2023).

win 10 doesn't want the package msu at the last time (KB5078885 installed and reboot and at the end, it's uninstalled).

do you have a fix or an explanation ?

thanks.

    It's a cumulative update, similar in concept to a service pack, but technically it's an update package (.msu file) that includes security fixes, improvements, and some new features.

  • I should point out that KB5078885 is a service stack update; you must install it manually. To roll it back, download it again from the Microsoft Update Catalogue and run the installer as an administrator.
