    Apparently, there'll be a hotfix on the way, but unsure if it'll just be for Windows 11 or if it'll apply for Windows 10 as well.

    I found a really easy fix. This error is due to the updates already being installed.

    Simply scroll down in the Windows Updates, and:

    1. click on pause updates for 1 week.
    2. resume updates again

    Windows updates will recheck for new updates and it will be fixed.

    THIS! This fixed the issue. Super simple. Thank you!
