Yes, I have tried this, several times including just now, when I clicked on the link in your message. Here's what happens.
I downloaded the install file (again), and executed it, responded "Yes" to the security question, and it started the install with the progress bar showing progress. Then that dialog box disappears, then... nothing.

Hey MWulfe, I’d just like to follow-up on this matter & I hope you’re doing well today!
Have you been able to carry the steps Mark suggested above? Do you still experience the same behavior?
Please keep us updated here, in order to check the case together. Many thanks in advance!
Different user here, but I have the same problem with the update always popping up and nothing happening. When I tried to manually update then it says it failed because of "error 0x80004002." Please help.
