    Well, if everyone is having the same problem, there is clearly a problem with update. But will Microsoft acknowledge their problem and fix it?

    Same issue on me...

    I found this: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/8186

    it says that windows update tries to install arm64 package for x64 system and that gives error.

    I am trying the solution at here, to manually downloading update...

    ...

    Yeap, manual download working. Install update cab for your system version, unpack and download update. Result: Update done and no warning for that update again.
