I've tried everything to resolve the error, but it's still not working, and now I'm being prompted to reinstall my current version of Windows, as it says 'complete updates to maintain security of device, 2024-11 cumulative update preview for Windows 11 version 23H2 for x64-based systems (KB5046732), reinstall your current version of Windows to repair system files and components'

If it's not installed on your device, it has nothing to do with your performance issues on your computer and I recommend using the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide this preview update
Yes that is the update I am having problem
What specific update are you referring to? Is this the KB5046732 update you're referring to that caused that issue?
Hello John DeV, I am experiencing some performance impacts after the update launched, this update was I think 6 months ago and it's really annoying me.
Hi, good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.
Microsoft has begun implementing and releasing Optional preview updates that are typically released on the 3rd or 4th week of every month. These updates allow admins to test the patch before its mandatory launch on Patch Tuesday (2nd week of the month). If you are not experiencing any issues with your system, there is no need to install the preview update.
Please check if you can still use the “Show or Hide Updates” troubleshooter to hide the preview update. Windows Update won’t install hidden updates. Run the troubleshooter then please try to hide the Cumulative Update Preview (KB5046732) that will show in the list. You may try restarting your pc if it helps.
