Hello @Jamshid Javidi

In a more advance troubleshooting, I can recommend the next actions:

• Cleanup WinSxS folder: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/clean-up-the-winsxs-folder?view=windows-11
• Reset Windows Update components: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/update/windows-update-resources
• Performan an image repair: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image?view=windows-11

This should bring your system to a healthy state and the update should install with no errors.

Hope this helps with your query,
