I've been repeatedly trying to install this update, but each time I try to launch the update, it will suddenly stop at 96% and tell me there was something wrong with the install and my PC files would return to the previous "un-updated" state.
I've tried every method I could easily find online (Removing all non-essential hardware, did clean boot into Windows, et cetera.), but none of them fixed the isue and I'm suspecting it's a deeper, less common issue.

Same error I got too. I just reinstalled Win 11 to get it over with. Most files were retained, but I built a backup in OneDrive.
Thanks for your reply. I've been thinking I should do the same.
I'm a tad paranoid about saving my data to the cloud, but have a 5 Terabyte network hard drive that should suffice, plus a couple of extra portable HDD, so I'll back up files.
Was there anything the missing files had in common, or was the data loss covered by the backup you made?
Just some apps that I wasn't really using. I too have a 12TB HDD that has my OneDrive files synced to.
OK.
Thanks for your advice. Sadly, re-installing Windows has failed. Twice. Once from the onboard recovery drive, once from a downloaded installation file.
Other updates are installing ok, just not this one. It was a similar story with 22H2. A couple of months of failed installs, then, overnight, it was there. 23H2 has been failing for 7 or 8 months, and I've lost count of the attempts I've made to get it to work. ho hum!
Does your PC have TPM 2.0? That is an essential right now.
