In my settings it says that the 2024-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5040442) and the 2024-07 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5039895) is ready to be downloaded and installed but as I proceed with the update it keeps saying there was an error and the update will not install. I have tried restarting my PC and looking in my bios to find a problem but my troubleshooting has not worked.

    So what's the problem, if it's common to a lot of users, and why doesn't MS find a fix themselves rather than putting the responsibility onto customers? My 70 year-old parents couldn't follow these instructions, they wouldn't have the first clue. We're all supposed to be IT experts now just to make basic MS systems work properly?

    Sure. Try a repair installation. See:

    0x80248007 occurs because of a stale Windows Update cache. Please run winver.exe and post the reported OS build number. If it says 22621.3880, your system is up-to-date.
