    Hi Shaun Michael Cortes,

    Since this is a public forum, we will hide your personal identifiable information, and I have sent that image of yours containing your personal identifiable information in a private message so we can work together to resolve the issue. Also, please check your private message in case you want to share another screenshot to avoid leaking your PII by click on the Private Message button right under your first post.

    Please try performing an In-place upgrade.

    Disclaimer: Let’s try performing an in-place install or in-place upgrade which will refresh your Windows files and operating system without removing files or applications. That being said, we always recommend that if you have important data, you should back it up before making large system changes. If you want to back up your data first, please do so. Once you are done backing up, you can follow the steps in the following guides: How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11 - Microsoft Community

    After doing so, your system will get 25H2 without recent updates.

    I hope that above information is helpful to you.

    Hi Shaun, Welcome in Community

    Did you run this command in safe mode or not?

    If the standard removal method fails, you can perform a deeper manual removal by using the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool within an elevated Command Prompt.

    First, open the Command Prompt as an Administrator and type the command

    dism /online /get-packages | findstr "Package_for_KB5077181"

    to locate the specific identity of the update within your system files. This will generate a long string of text representing the package name, which you should highlight and copy exactly as it appears (with CTRL + C).

    Once you have that name, type

    dism /online /remove-package /PackageName:

    followed immediately by the text you copied, then press Enter to force the system to strip the update out. Finally, make sure to restart your computer to finalize the changes and ensure the "glitchy" components are fully cleared from your active memory.

    Let me know how it goes
