Unable to download KB5077181

I have a Dell Desktop XPS 8930, 64 bits. 

I migrated from Windows 10 to Windows 11 Pro in January.

I lost WiFi during that migration, but managed to recover it with Dell's help. 

my OS is now Windows 11 Pro, 25H2, build 26200.7628. 

Early February, I got the installation error 0x80070005 when trying to install KB5077181. The PC restarted 3 - 4 times, then displayed an error message similar to "the update didn't go well - do not worry - we are uninstalling the update", then restarted again 3 - 4 times and finally started.

I understood that this update had issues and that I should wait for another version of such update.

Yesterday, I shut my PC down WITHOUT choosing "shut down and install updates", but when opening it this morning, my PC started by trying to install KB5077181,  with the same behavior as early February.

Is there a way to properly install this update on my PC ? If not, should I wait for a future version of this update, and in that case, how can I force my PC not to install on its own the KB5077181 update ?

Thanks a lot, in advance, for your help.

    I would appreciate assistance in resolving the installation issue with KB5077181 and understanding why the update failed to install on my system. Given the history of issues with this update, I am concerned about how to proceed with installing future updates to ensure stability and reliability of my system.

    The best is to update your Windows using Windows update. If the update is missing and it is required, Windows update will install it for you. You don't need to manually install it. If you want to make sure you've installed all the available updates (including optional updates), you can check Advanced Option - Optional updates as well (I'm sure you knew it already).
