The update is available through Windows Update but also from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. In Windows Update, it is necessary to check the “available optional updates” section. The update should be listed there.

Cumulative update KB4568831 fixes an error on many devices that prevents them from connecting to the Internet using a cellular modem. Needless to say, if no connection is available for these computers, the only way is to manually download this update from another device and then transfer the file to that computer.
Cumulative update KB4568831 patches one as well theme in WNS. Microsoft states:
“Fixed an issue in the Windows Push Notification (WNS) service that was blocking connections to Interactive private network (VPN). As a result, you lost your connection to the WNS service if you used forced tunneling.”
Microsoft states in the catalog update that update KB4568831 has been replaced by KB4566782. So whoever has KB4566782 should not download it.
