I installed windows update 24h2 last week. Today another installation started for an update with the same name. Is this legitimate?

Hello and welcome to Eleven Forum.



There are MANY updates for 24H2.
The only way to tell one from the other is the KBxxxxxxx number of the update.


Have a look at this, for example...
