Microsoft made some changes recently that broke BatchPatch cached mode for Windows 11, specifically for certain types of Windows 11 updates– the ones that end in .psf and the ones that end in .wim, which will generally be the large cumulative monthly updates. We do not currently have a way to fix this, as the issue is in the Windows Update API itself, so Microsoft has to address it. Cached mode in Windows 10 also has a different but similar issue that Microsoft introduced some time ago. We do not know if/when Microsoft will address this for either Windows 10 or Windows 11.
To work around the problem, you can either enable online/non-cached mode in BatchPatch if the target computer has access to a WSUS or to Microsoft’s Windows Update servers, OR if the target computer does not have access to a WSUS or to Microsoft’s Windows Update servers you can instead just manually download the .msu version of the desired update directly from the Windows Update catalog at https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com
Then when you have the .msu update file you can deploy that update to the air-gapped machines using BatchPatch’s ‘Deploy’ feature.
