I have the same problem and I am NOT going to download a file from some random person.... sorry but the baddies of the world has ruined any trust I have. I would like to have a fix made from Microsoft or HP as I KNOW we are not the only two.

2022-11-29T22:27:26+00:00 Hello, how are you?
My name is Paloma B., I am very happy to be able to try to help you in the best possible way.
There is probably an error with this driver update.
In that case, I suggest you hide it from Windows Update so that it doesn't keep causing this error.
So it doesn't show up on Windows Update.
The following file is available for download from the Website and should work on Windows 11:[Link removed]
When you click the download link, you will be asked to open or save wushowhide.diagcab.
Opening wushowhide.diagcab will start troubleshooting. Click next to proceed and follow the troubleshooting instructions to hide the problematic driver or update.

This fixed this issue for me. Just pause, and unpause - nothing else. No troubleshooting, no clicking links from unknown websites...
Seems that this update was removed by MS, and by pausing and unpausing WinUpdate cache is cleared, so it no longer appears there.
