// Magically, the update got installed and now my Build is 26100.3037. //
Do you mean it worked using the offline installer?
//Win 11 does not recognize me as an administrator even though I am the sole user of the computer.//
Why do you think so? The batch file output confirms that you were able to turn off/on the services. Only an admin can do that. Limited users will get the error "[SC] OpenService FAILED 5:" when modifying services.
Magically, the update got installed and now my Build is 26100.3037. However, I still cannot install downloads from Windows Update, specifically an Intel graphics driver and Win 11 does not recognize me as an administrator even though I am the sole user of the computer. Also, when I use the netplwiz program, it says I am an administrator. If you can help with this please advise.
The services are starting correctly.
What's the error code you're seeing? Is it 0x800705b4 (same as the OP?)
Can you try these offline installers?
First, install the checkpoint update: https://catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/d8b7f92b-bd35-4b4c-96e5-46ce984b31e0/public/windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
Then, install KB5050009: https://catalog.sf.dl.delivery.mp.microsoft.com/filestreamingservice/files/66557ecc-650e-4c70-8baf-c624c4de912f/public/windows11.0-kb5050009-x64_97aac2ab4f607b11d50ad2fd88a5841ee0b18dd5.msu
