Update Crisis !!

I used WSUS Offline to get all the XP updates after 2015 support ended. Somehow along the way I must have deleted the folder.
I did reinstall XP last week and used the work around to get automatic updates to work.
WSUS Offline can no longer download these updates and I wonder how much longer the work around will last.
Is there a way to get WSUS to work again?
I was thinking about going into Programs & Features click show updates copy the KB # and get them one at a time on microsoft update catalogue.
Is this a viable solution? Do I reinstall the updates in the order that they appear in Programs & Features?
Is there a global catalogue that can be bought on DVD or USB?
I would like to have both X86 & X64 global update packages.
 
I'm not familiar with WSUS and only recently did my first clean install of Unofficial XP SP4 which came out great. Before I did all updates by hand.
Does the Unofficial XP SP4 not cover all the updates that WSUS offers?
 
I was wondering about SP4 myself and what all it actually updates.
I did find my copy of WSUS XP FILES on an old IDE HDD hiding in the closet.
WSUS still works for windows 7/ 8.1/ 10 but can no longer retrieve XP updates.
It generates all the global update packages and saves them as a file on your computer. It installs these updates according to the make & model of your PC without having to be connected to the internet.
WSUS Offline Update - Update Microsoft Windows and Office without an Internet connection
I have been using the same file for years on 2 really old machines that refuse to die.
I also have windows 7 & Office 2007 WSUS updates saved as well.
I will do the same for Windows 10 on its last day of life.
