Apologies for the formatting not being correct in the initial post, Forgot to add the playbook that I''m using. ---

- hosts: "*"
  tasks:
  - name: Install Windows updates
    win_updates: #https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ansible/windows/win_updates_module.html
      category_names: '*'
      state: installed
      reboot: true
      log_path": C:\Windows\Install-Windows-Updates.txt

This looks to be a duplicate of #366. This issue has been fixed to treat SuceededWithErrors as successful but log the errors. As your code has failed it looks like it is still running with the older ansible.windows version and not the 2.0.0 one in your collection path.

Running with -vvv will show you the full path of the module that was used which will help indicate if it's using /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ansible_collections/ansible/windows or the other collection paths.
