This page explains how to re-download AppleBcUpdate.exe for your intel mac manually.
0. (my) Environment
Mac Book Pro 2019
Windows 11(or 10), where Boot camp is already installed.
(Log maybe different depends on environment. BTW, I use Apple Software Update 2.6.3.0 when I wrote this.)
1. launch Apple Software Update
(1) Launch "Apple Software Update" from windows start menu.
(2) Help > "Enable logging".
(3) File > "Check for Updates...".
This action generates Boot Camp update log which you will check from now on.
(4) Tools > "Open Downloaded Updates Folder..".
(5) Close Apple Software Update.
2. on Explorer
(1) go to "Logs" folder under the "Downloaded Updates" folder.
(usually C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Apple\Apple Software Update\Logs.)
(2) open WASU_2872_2022-03-19_10-55-20-0164.log by text editor.
(File name depends on the date/time when you check updates.)
3. Find Update Key(ID) from WASU_2872_2022-03-19_10-55-20-0164.log
I would like to have 6.1.15 update, Precision Touchpad driver, for MBP2019.
The followings are the potion where I now focus on.

from the bottom block, you will get the Key(ID) of "Boot Camp Update" (6.1.15).
That is 071-01695.
4. Download index-windows-1.sucatalog (catalog)

Open it by text editor, and then Search "071-01695"
