Running Win11, 23H2, version 22.631.2271.
Several items in update listing repeatedly do not successfully install after successful downloading (example: Office 2013 which I replaced with Office 2021 years ago). One other item also appears in the listing & never successfully installs- is there a way to delete these eyesore listings permanently?
