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.

What do you mean by msconfig does not open? Any errors?
What's your BIOS version? Updating the BIOS and the chipset drivers can solve the error message in your screenshot.
Share the setupact.log file. See my other posts for instructions.
