2023-11-15T09:03:46+00:00 Some entries on the web for this issue mention that if you have Malwarebytes installed, it can interfer with (some) Windows Updates. The recommendation I read was to uninstall Malwarebytes, and once you're past the "Something didn't go as planned" problem, you can install Malwarebytes again. I found that I didn't need to uninstall Malwarebytes - I just needed to temporarily turn off the Web, Malware, Ransomware and Exploit protection of the product, then restore the protection after the Windows Update successfully completed.

2023-11-05T10:47:28+00:00 I had the same story with "something didn't go as planned" but in my situation I have no idea how to fix it.
The issue started after my partition manipulation when I was recovered them after failed with dead SSD. My partition sectors was on that passed away disk while the system on brand new m2. So I shrink the partition, created new bcd template store, flighted with BFSVC Error and so on. Long story short my current partition on my disk looks like that:
Partition ### Type Size Offset
Partition 1 Reserved 16 MB 1024 KB
Partition 2 Primary 1862 GB 17 MB
Partition 3 Primary 259 MB 1862 GB
Partition 4 Recovery 609 MB 1862 GB
And I do not know which one I have to modify and do not break my working w11 system and able to download these unstoppable updates. I disable updates on services.msc but still windows update ask to install
2023-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5030219)
2023-10 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5031323)
and see no way how to install them without the loop and failed 97% downloads.
I agree to live with risk and without updates but it is annoying that I cannot restart the computer without numerous and useless restart with attempts to install them. I guess it is enough space on needed partition or it is wrongly named or I have to set the ID for it.

2023-10-13T19:26:36+00:00 Why do we have to go through all this BS to do a simple MS update? This seems to me that there is something broken! MS needs to resolve it!
