Hi, and thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, are you using a normal build of Windows 11? like Windows 11 Home or Pro? If yes, since that is a server update, I suggest ignoring it, or hide by following the steps from the link below:

Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

In addition, if you are using a Windows server, and since the issue is related to Windows Server, It is best to ask the question on the Microsoft website for Windows server, which is a community platform for IT professionals, Microsoft Q&A has IT professionals and system admins who can best help you with this type of question.
