    Skipping updates generally isn't a problem. Updates are now cumulative which means the current update contains new fixes plus all the previous monthly rollups. So, waiting for the Jan 2023 update will yield the new fixes plus all the previous including the skipped 12/2022 fixes. Some things to try;

    sfc /scannow

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    Additional resources for Windows Update - Windows Client | Microsoft Learn

    a repair install by running setup.exe from the root of the install media
