Do you suggest I let Windows Update download the file, then disable the adapter and install the update? Or download the file manually from the Windows Update Catalog website, then disable the adapter and execute the file?
Sorry, I missed this earlier.

I would do an offline download of the failing update, disable the network adapter and run the update. I would literally disable everything I could. Network cards and printers are notorious for causing updates to fail.

You could also watch the process and when the update has been downloaded, then disable the NIC.
