You want this version: Windows 11, version 25H2 (26200.8246) amd64

CPC or (Cloud PC) is a slightly different Windows exclusively provided to Cloud PC users. Sometimes UUP dump captures stuff MS isn't supposed to show, because of internal MS errors. You want to stick the normal looking version names.

If you have a cloud PC, you can remove some HW features because it's always running in a VM.

A rather similar situation recently arose on Win 10 for some, where it was deemed 'cosmetic'. A registry fix was found to hide it, though I think there may have been concern that could have repercussions. Whether this is similar... maybe others will report this.

But considering it is shown as you say as an Optional Update, have you actually looked at the Optional Update section in Settings? Windows Update, Advanced Options

I just found a driver update there of no particular interest, but there was, in this case, no indication on the Windows Update page

AI suggests:
If Windows 11 shows you are already on 25H2 but keeps offering the same update (often failing), it is likely a bug in the Windows Update service or a false-positive detection of an older sub-version of 25H2. To fix it, restart your PC while connected to the internet, run the Windows Update Troubleshooter, or clear the SoftwareDistribution folder.

Key Solutions for the 25H2 Update Loop:

  • Restart & Update Network: A, new update (KB5085516) or later, or simply restarting with active internet connectivity, may fix this connectivity-induced loop.
  • Clear Component Store (SoftwareDistribution): Open Services, stop the "Windows Update" service, delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, and restart the service.
  • Run Troubleshooting: Go to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters and run the Windows Update tool.
  • Use the "Show or Hide" Tool: If the update fails, download the "Show or hide updates" troubleshooter from Microsoft to temporarily hide the redundant 25H2 offer
  • This issue is likely a "false positive" where the system sees a slightly older enablement package version.
Wait for Phased Rollout: Microsoft sends 25H2 in waves, so a redundant offer might appear.
--------------------
I searched for
windows 11 on 25H2 but offered 25H2
- relevant videos follow, apparently with ideas on this.


Also found this suggestion:
Update Loop Issues: If 25H2 offers itself again after installation, some users solved this by removing specific cumulative updates (e.g., KB5070311).
