Why Windows 11 keeps booting into recovery mode when there's an update?

Every time my Windows 11 needs an update, it fails and I have to go through recovery and repair. I've got plenty of space and I've already fixed it once before, but whenever there's an update, it just goes back to square one. The last recovery worked fine, but now it's acting up again. Any ideas how to fix this?

    Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter and execute the following commands via Command Prompt:

    sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    to repair system files.
