Windows 11 Security Upgrade consistently fails to load at 98% before the auto upgrade completes. I've tried all troubleshooting steps in both Windows and online, checked every suggestion, but nothing works. The auto upgrade won't stop either, which is really frustrating. I'm not a tech expert and don't understand why this is such a hassle. I've used AVAST VDI but turned it off to download, and it still doesn't work. The problems with Windows have made me consider switching to Apple. This upgrade issue has happened before with any Microsoft product I've used. I'm using a DELL Alienware and it handled the initial Win 11 install well, but now I'm struggling to upgrade. I'm planning to tell Best Buy to trade me in. I've only owned this computer for two years.

Information about the source for Windows 11?
Details on how Windows 11 was installed?
What is the origin of the auto upgrades?
Have you attempted "dism" and "sfc /scannow"?
Outcome?

Please find a screenshot from Disk Management (upload to imgur.com and share the link).
I'd like to check if the bootloader partition size might be an issue.

Also - referencing "My AI builder didn't provide me with it."
What AI builder? Source?
With a two year old build (pre AI craze) I would also suspect that whatever upgrade was done or attempted by that AI builder went astray. That is likely not Microsoft.....
Yes - provide the Disk Manager screen shot as suggested by
@SkyNetRising
.
Open the window so all can be seen.
Capture the screenshot and post the screenshot here via imgur (

).
Lastly look in Update History and Reliabillity History/Monitor. Either one or both tools may have captured some relevant errors regarding the Security Update failures.
Screen capture and post any details.
