BIOS Update SP141933.exe fails with 'Failed To Extract CAB' from the downloaded file

[hacker15x]

I have an issue with updating the BIOS for my HP laptop 

HP 17.3 inch Laptop PC 17-c0000 (2W0H1AV)

I download the file (SP141933.exe) from the HP support site and try to open it.  It opens successfully but fails at the extraction of the files inside with the error message 'Failed To Extract CAB.  This happens regardless of running the file as Administrator.  This is Windows 11, version 22H2.  Any advice on how to get this to install successfully?  The current BIOS is f.20  the new version is f.23.

Updating the BIOS is recommended as standard maintenance of the computer. It can also help resolve the following issues:

• An available BIOS update resolves a specific issue or improves computer performance.
• The current BIOS does not support a hardware component or a Windows upgrade.
• HP Support recommends installing a specific BIOS update.

"

(3) Reboot

(4) Let BIOS be installed until it's completely done !

(5) Test your notebook

(6) Please report your results

First, let me say, THANKS for the comeback!   I did as you suggested and ran the Commands in the sequence you indicated.  Here are the results.

sfc /scannow  - no integrity issues found

msdt.exe /id WindowsUpdateDiagnostic   - No issues detected, no updates pending

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth  - no corruptions detected

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth   - same result

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth   - completed successfully

I then downloaded a new copy of SP141933, opened it, and got the same error - CAB file failed to extract, which is the reason I posted the question on this problem.  Any help on this would be great.  All I can say is that I usually rely on Dell and their update process which has never given me grief.  I find that HPs update process and files are both difficult, a bit more complex, and often fail to install after you download them.  Also, it seems you have to download the recommended updates one at a time rather than all at once, as Dell allows you to do.
