My system is set to English (United Kingdom), which isn't available as an option in the download options, so I picked English International (and there's no such thing as 'English International' in my system Language options):
My computer will not download the latest windows update.

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.
Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

If the Keep files option is still grayed out, share the following setup log file on OneDrive (or any other host) and post the link here:
C:$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log

2024-07-14T12:38:12+00:00 Close MCT, delete the following folder:
C:$WINDOWS.~BT
Rerun MCT.
If "C:$WINDOWS.~BT" can't be deleted, that explains why the "Reinstall now" option in Settings failed.
Try deleting the folder from Safe mode.
