    So, thank you all for the replies. I have already hidden the update with wushowhide but my opinion is that it is not serious of microsoft to force users to do this manual action, it should be microsoft to manages the case because a user cannot know if the lack of an update can compromise your System.

    I've subscribed to this community topic and just got notified. Glad you and others got it worked out like I finally did. To be fair, the GPT requirement was actually explained earlier in this thread by 沉桀贺, rodnay, and myself and alluded to by others here. It's a hardware issue. Granted, Microsoft complicates the matter in their KB5012170 article by stating there is an "ongoing investigation" which implies an eventual possible fix. But there is NO FIX possible if your hardware doesn't meet the minimum requirements of the KB5012170 update. OEMs can't fix the issue with a BIOS update alone either. OEMs don't have control of the partition type of our boot drives. Like I implied before, it's just unfortunate that the Windows Update application doesn't recognize that a system doesn't meet the hardware requirements. If it did, Windows Update could simply SUPPRESS any mention of KB5012170 entirely for platforms that don't comply with ALL the system requirements like Secure Boot, TPM, UEFI, GPT partition (vs. MBR). Including that tidbit of info in their KB article months ago would have cleared up all the confusion.
