Something has changed on 9/21/2022, looks like MS fixed the W.U. loop/error that was occurring after upgrading with MS ISO 22621.382.
I just tried this again about an hour ago upgrading from 22000.1042, used the same MS ISO that I used yesterday while online and checking for updates.
This time it went directly to 22621.521, W.U. downloaded directly kb5017321 during the upgrade process, no need for a second step from 22621.382 to 22621.521. π
I did not have to install kb5017321 separately or use any other workaround that I had to use yesterday to fix the W.U. loop/error problem. Problem solved, finally some progress. π

Edit:
Verified the same procedure on a laptop Upgraded from 22000.1042 using MS ISO 22621.382 while connected to the internet, it went directly to 22621.521 no intermediate step to 22621.382 and subsequent update with KB5017321, did everything during the upgrade process, no more work around needed. π
