[SOLVED] Unable to update Windows 10 or view Windows Features

I just checked Settings and I see this, though.
Should I do this first? Or do an in-place upgrade with another (newer?) version of Windows 10?

ComponentsScanner and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click ComponentsScanner.exe and select "Run as administrator", click Yes on the UAC (User Account Control) prompt which appears.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Once complete, a report will be saved to your desktop called ComponentsScanner.txt.
  • Post the logfile ComponentsScanner.txt as attachment into your next reply.
 
Code: 
You are running a Windows Insider build.
ComponentsScanner will not run on Insider builds and will now exit
Press any key to continue. . .
So, about that report...
 
Please do the following.

ComponentsScanner and save it to your desktop.
  • Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Config and locate the COMPONENTS file.
  • Please copy this file to your desktop.
  • Note: If you receive an error that this file is in-use, simply reboot your computer and try again.
  • Drag the COMPONENTS hive file over the ComponentsScanner.exe executable and release it.

Now it shows the latest SSU of the preview update KB5061087, please check if this update is installed using the following command.

Code: 
wmic qfe | find "KB5061087"
 
Code: 
C:\WINDOWS\system32>wmic qfe | find "KB5061087"

C:\WINDOWS\system32>
I suppose the lack of any printed results means that it's not present?
 
Alright, I've left the insider program. I'm not sure if I'm meant to stop here, but I figured I'd take a look at the other steps just in case.

Following the instructions to stop receiving Insider Preview builds seems simple enough.

Unfortunately, few things in my life are simple.

The only "organization" that is technically present on this computer isn't even present as a user account. I've only ever logged into it through browsers, Outlook, and the now-discontinued Windows Mail and Calendar applications.

If tinkering with Group Policy must be done, that's fine. I'm no stranger to that.
 
Please reboot the system first and run ComponentsScanner the normal way to see if it's still detecting an insider build.
 
Still detects an Insider build.

Code: 
You are running a Windows Insider build.
ComponentsScanner will not run on Insider builds and will now exit
Press any key to continue. . .
