Does the problem persist if you restart Windows and try Windows Update again?
Best wishes,

This can be complicated to troubleshoot. You'll find lots of things to try in Windows Update loop: Fix for Windows Vista, 7, 8

Thanks a lot Hans,
I personally used Fix #3: Run sfc from the troubleshooting steps you linked.

Hi Oliver, I had the problem not so long ago but not as severe as yours.
When comparing my pc's 'Update history' & 'Installed updates' they did not match including the most recent ones.
Windows 11 Home 22H2
