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.

    By the way, did you do what I said earlier?

    That is:

    Reboot and try running setup.exe. This starts the setup dialog. In the initial screen, click “Change how Setup downloads updates”.

    Select “Not right now”, and continue the process.
