How can I keep KB5035942 from installing every single day? Started last week and it's getting stupid! Looked it up and it's from 3/26/24 for builds 22621.3374 and 22631.3374 for Win 11 22H2. I'm running 24H2 26100.3037. And it's not one that you can uninstall either. It's getting ridiculous.

Have you tried to run the update component script and reboot afterward?
Reset Windows Update in Windows 11 Tutorial
then I would run SFC and DISM commands:
-dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth (restart)
-dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Rebooted after running script, SFC, and DISM commands to successful completion. Will have to wait until tomorrow morning to see if update doesn't run, as it runs sometime in the night. Will get back to you tomorrow morning. Thanks for the help.

You just can trigger Windows Update to see if it downloads it.

I wonder if you look under windows update history, and hit the link learn more and go to the website to see the configuration changes, if all the links are going to the same page?

If you turn off "Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available" toggle. And try to update, does it then still try to install it?

Do a web search and you will see this has been ongoing for almost a year. Nothing suggested here or anywhere else works at stopping the daily update of KB5035942. It doesn't actually install although it says successful. I believe it is happening to a lot more people but they are not checking optional updates each day. Trying to manually install the update doesn't work either.

My post should read "not checking other updates each day".
