Id really prefer not to delete and redownload the whole game if theres a smarter fix 🤦 Any idea what the launcher is actually complaining about here?

im lsoing my mind with this update. the publishers launcher says it failed, retry, fails again at the verifying step:
```
Windows Update
We couldn't complete the updates.
Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

Error code: 0x800f0922
```
the game folder is on a second SSD. other games on the same drive update fine. what makes this one different?

yeahhh clear the launchers download cache. most launchers have this in their settings; otherwise close it completely and delete the temporary download folder inside the library folder, corrupted partial files often break at the same percentage forever. hope that helps :)
