Install specific KB from a repository Path

[steviecoaster]

Using Get-KbNeededUpdate combined with Save-KBUpdate I was able to create a specific repository to store the required update files. I proceeded to attempt to install a specific update using the repository, but all update files found in the repository were found.

Install-KbUpdate -HotfixId KB5017263 -RepositoryPath C:\playground\ -ComputerName localhost performed the following actions:

ComputerName : localhost
Title        : 2022-09 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5, 4.7.2 and 4.8 for Windows Server 2019 for x64
               (KB5017855)
ID           : 91f255aa-7c9d-4b56-8886-22e8cf30d522
Status       : Succeeded
HotFixId     : 5017855
Update       : System.__ComObject

ComputerName : localhost
Title        : Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.375.1172.0)
ID           : 835d0136-85af-4519-afcb-86b904432fb7
Status       : Succeeded
HotFixId     : 2267602
Update       : System.__ComObject

However, I was expecting just:

ComputerName : localhost
Title        : Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 (Version 1.375.1172.0)
ID           : 835d0136-85af-4519-afcb-86b904432fb7
Status       : Succeeded
HotFixId     : 2267602
Update       : System.__ComObject

That was my expectation as well! 😱 I'll take a look at this tonight.

I think this may just impact localhost + kb. When I do this, it's not supposed to say Build needed updates because it was already told which updates will be needed. Fixing now.
