Have you tried updating to the lastest BIOS. Newest version listed on their website is 2.20 (Update AMD AM4 AGESA Combo V2 PI 1.2.0.6b )

Hi, updated the BIOS yet no success

I am assuming your video drivers are up to date. Have you ran a PC System Health Check?

Yes, all drivers are up-to-date & since windows 11 is not updating, thus "Attention Required" and then back to square one

 

[MrLitschel]

The windows Update is referring to updates required by Windows 10 in order to meet the requirements. When you click on the "Attention required", it should tell you more.

If you're using 3rd party antivirus, then try removing it for time of update.
You can reinstall it after.

BTW - do you have secure boot enabled?
Can you show a screenshot from msinfo32 - System Summary?

Removed 3rd party antivirus & enabled secure boot, yet no success

The only other suggestion I have is to use the "Microsoft Media Creation Tool" and try to upgrade through it or download the Multi-Edition ISO Image.

I will add the suggestion to look in Update History ("View update history").

Could be some problem or failed update.

FYI:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/upgrade/resolution-procedures

Run the built in Windows Troubleshooters. The troubleshooters may find and fix something.

Also try "sfc /scannow" and "dism".
