Hmm, what we could try is to repair those registry keys from the Recovery Environment when the SOFTWARE hive is load with a different name to make the changes.

See this guide for example: Utilizing Offline Registry Editor to Repair the Registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{0823B6F8-F499-4d5e-B885-EA9CB4F43B24}\LocalServer32
REG_EXPAND_SZ must be: %SystemRoot%\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.3646_none_e932fa0242ee80d9\TiWorker.exe

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\WOW6432Node\CLSID\{0823B6F8-F499-4d5e-B885-EA9CB4F43B24}\LocalServer32
REG_EXPAND_SZ must be: %SystemRoot%\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.22621.3646_none_8d145e7e8a910fa3\TiWorker.exe

If you're not familiar with such fixes, please let me know? Then I will write some instructions.

Update: I've installed a Windows 11 23H2 Insider VM in the meantime and was able to reproduce this issue.

Please log-in with the built-in administrator account and perform the steps in post #26 again.
 
Hi, sorry it will be a while before I can get to my laptop, will do it ASAP.
 
Also, I’m pretty comfortable editing the registry by hand so there’s no problem if required.
 
Will reboot and try update.

EDIT: On "Downloading", will take a little time.
 
Great, but please rename the SoftwareDistribution folder first before attempting to update again.
Code: 
ren %SystemRoot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

Unable to do this, says access denied even with admin cmd.

Already downloaded the update sorry. What do I do to fix this?
 
Please let Windows Update run for now, if it fails you can reboot the machine and then rename the SoftwareDistribution folder.
 
Thanks a lot!

Quick question, would you be able to tell me if there was any user-cause that could have caused this problem so I know what not to do in the future?
Also, would it be possible for you to help me fix the calculator app? I use it often to visualise graphs and online apps tend to run a bit slower and are laggier. Thanks even if that is out of scope!
 
You're welcome. Glad to hear the update installed without any issues after the last fix.

Insider builds of Windows 11 could be unstable see post #3, and in this case the root cause was an issue with the Servicing Stack and one of your administrator account(s) seems to be limited?

For the calculator app I would suggest to start a new thread in the Windows 11 section to get advise from other members / helpers here at Sysnative.

I will mark this thread as solved.
