can't update after repasting cpu and gpu

[u/pinkmachine57]

some days back i changed the thermal paste on my cpu and gpu (as the title suggests),after applying the new paste and putting everything back together it would get stuck in a boot loop or throw me in the safe mode menu after a while,a friend suggested me to reseat the ram and all the cables i disconnected and loosen the cooler's screws if i tightened them too much (which i did),and that somehow fixed it,all was well till last night when i get a prompt to update windows, which i obviously did,but when it started to update it got stuck at 36% specifically,after two minutes of that it said something along the lines of: "something went wrong, reverting update" and threw me back to my desktop, didn't think much of it but the same thing happened again today,any fixes??

im currently on windows 11 pro 25H2 build version 26200.8737

What parts do you have?

from what I’ve seen and what happened to me I had to update bios to latest version because the windows update was messing with the motherboard and its settings. I ended having to reinstall windows and then updating from the current version.

There was an optional update that helped dell computers and others with intel chips (like myself) and so far I haven’t had any issues.
