    Hello, I'm Jan and I'm happy to help you today. To resolve the update error,, try the following.

    • System file corruption can cause these update issues. Try to scan system files using the system file checker. System File Checker Then try running the troubleshooter again.
    • If you have any third-party antivirus or malware removal tools installed, fully uninstall them using the official uninstall utilities provided on their support websites. Once removed, you may reinstall and update them if necessary.
    • If none of these work, try the recovery option of "Use Windows Update to fix the problem". This will download and install a repaired version of the operating system to repair corrupted system files. Fix problems using Windows Update
