The best option to bring your Windows version fully up to date and also fix the problems with your update service is to use the Windows 11 ISO to perform an in-place repair
Please follow the steps, this is then just an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.
Click this link:

to download the Windows 11 ISO
When the ISO file completes downloading
Disconnect from the Internet
Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.
Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed
Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the upgrade option.
