Windows Updates issues
Hi, I understand your frustration with the update issues on your laptop.
Based on what you have described, it seems like driver conflicts or the Insider build are causing most of the problems.
First, check that your system has enough free space (at least 20 to 40 GB)
and that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are enabled.
Next, update or roll back drivers using the Device Manager app.
You can also run the Windows Update troubleshooter (Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters)
and try a clean boot by disabling all non-Microsoft services and startup programs.
If everything fails, consider doing a clean reinstall of Windows.
You might also want to leave the Insider Preview program if you want a more stable version of Windows.
These steps usually resolve most update problems. Happy to help!

I have 470+ G free on C:
Secure Boot is enabled and TPM is ready for use
Other trouble shooters took me to Microsoft support chat
Clean boot did not change anything.
I am not getting any errors with Windows Update. It says up to date but I can't confirm in Update History
I am not looking forward to a full reinstall and app reinstall/reconfig like I did in July.
