BSOD page fault in non paged area for windows 11 upgrade

I am currently on Windows 10 OS Build 19045.5854, and I tried to install a windows update which is Windows 11 24H2, after it restarts my computer i get a BSOD with the "page fault in non paged area" error code.

I restart and i get the same BSOD and error code, and then when I restart again i get a black screen where it says it is undoing the changes and then I'm back to square 1.

    If you can access Safe Mode, go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history and uninstall any recent updates. Use Device Manager to roll back or uninstall recently updated drivers, especially for graphics, storage, or network devices.

    Updating the memory driver first and running the memory diagnostic tool will fix the PFN blue screen error.
