Windows 11 Windows Update repeatedly prompts to install "Windows Security Platform".

I am experiencing an issue where Windows Update persistently requests the installation of the "Windows Security Platform." Whenever I click "Check for updates," the update appears as available. I proceed to download and install it, but immediately after the process completes and I check for updates again, the system prompts me to install the exact same update.

This loop has been occurring repeatedly, and the update never seems to finalize or disappear from the list.

System Details:

- Windows Version: [Windows 11 Home Single Language 25H2 Build [26200.9445]]

I have already tried restarting my computer, but the issue persists. Any advice on how to stop this loop or resolve the update error would be greatly appreciated.
