Please see this from some time ago on the same issue. Some of the answers may help you:

If you run the "D!SM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" does it stop at 4.5%? please replace "!" with i, the tech community doesnt allow me to write the command :-D
I know "SFC /scannow" doesnt work the most of the time... but can you try this and see if throws any errors?

DSM works fine and does not stop at 4% and sfc throws some errors but that is propably related to driver certificates being expired.

Since you’re on Insider Preview, ensure that any software or hardware conflicts are ruled out. Sometimes, certain drivers or software might not play nicely with the new build. If you added any new hardware recently, consider checking compatibility.

I have used the same laptop since 2021 without changing any internal components, in device manager nothing has a yellow triangle.

Since you've already verified some drivers, make sure you check for any conflicting drivers again, especially ones related to your graphics and network adapters. Go to Device Manager (right-click Start and select it) and look for any items with a yellow triangle. Right-click those and select Update driver.

I do not have any drivers with a yellow triangle.

Make sure you've fully updated your graphics drivers through the NVIDIA website directly. Sometimes using a tool like Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to cleanly remove old drivers can help before reinstalling the latest drivers.

I have tried doing that, and it didn't work.
