If a particular update does not apply, temporarily disable the update.
After that, it is downloaded and executed as a single unit from the following.
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/home.aspx
However, it is a good idea to update the "Service Stack Update" to the latest version in advance. This will increase the probability of successful installation of individual updates.
