Always have to run windows (11) update twice

I have an ageing pc (but still runs well) running Windows 10 (too old for Windows 11) and each time I update windows It says its done it. Then the next day or so it says I need to update it - it then reinstalls the same update and thwen its OK untill the next month - and the process repeats??

Anybody selse suffer this?

    You need to format the internal drive and reinstall Windows 11 again.

    Download the Windows Update Assistant from Microsoft's website and run it to manually upgrade. Alternatively, use the Media Creation Tool to perform an in-place upgrade, which repairs corrupt system files and updates your system without data loss.
