Windows Subsystem for Linux Update - 5.10.93.2 failed to update

Microsoft has clearly screwed up this update. Ok, I can do a manual update and that solves the immediate problem. But I am reluctant to do so. It wouldn't be the first time that I did something manually outside the normal Update process that messed up Windows Update and caused all kinds of problems with other updates later on. Microsoft needs to fix their screw-up to keep the Windows Update sequence whole and intact. Working around update failures is a setup for more update failures down the line, has been my experience. Maybe this manual update won't do that, maybe it will. I'm not taking the chance after being burned before. Does MS even read this board? How do they get informed when they mess up something like this? Do they even care?
