Thank you for the information!
At this point, you can consider to perform a clean boot (disable non‑Microsoft startup items and third‑party services) then try the update. If the CBS/WindowsUpdate logs point to GPU drivers such as dxgmms2.sys or similar. Update or roll back the GPU driver from Device Manager or the GPU vendor’s site before retrying.
The following article is for your further reference regarding Windows update issue.

2026-03-09T05:03:09.3733333+00:00 Thanks Bret/Chen,
I tried performing sfc as well. No luck.
Here is the solution worked for me
Downloaded ISO file win 11 24h2 and installed it on top of that, (selecting Keep all my files/apps) and did a a in place upgrade and issue resolved , successfully updated from 23H2 to 24H2.

2026-02-25T05:08:13.3166667+00:00 Hello Gorrela,
Thank you for posting question on Microsoft Windows Forum!
Based on the issue description. Well! KB5075941 is the February 2026 cumulative update for Windows 11, version 23H2. There are reports of installation failures with the February updates in community.
The suggestion here is try to Run Windows Update Troubleshooter by going to Settings → System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters → Windows Update → Run the troubleshooter. Running the Windows Update troubleshooter will automatically detect and fix issues.
Even if your manual install failed, it might be because the underlying system files the update is trying to patch are corrupted. You might need to verify the "health" of your Windows image by using SFC and DISM for repairing system files. Right-click the Start button and select Terminal (Admin) or Command Prompt (Admin) and run the these commands one by one DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth Once DISM finishes, then run sfc /scannow If sfc /scannow finds and repairs files, try running the update again immediately.
You can consult the following articles for more information regarding your concerns.
