Windows 8 offline updates

Question

I am trying to update a Windows 8 installation on a machine that is not connected to the internet.

I have been told that standalone installers exist but ultimately the Microsoft sites just direct me to run windows update which isn't an option. Where can I find the standalone installers?

You can use WSUS Offline Update to update computers that aren't connected to the internet. But you'll need a computer that does have access to Windows Update to create the offline install media first.

Then you run the installer on the target computer with the update media targeted:
