It has come to my notice that my PC is stuck on version 21/H2 and will not update.
Belarc Advisor comes up with two local user accounts:
1. local user account, which is active.
2. local system account: marked as disabled.
I am assumming that this is the problem stopping the update. Can any-one suggest how I fix this?

In the past when I've had issues with updates I have used the Windows Update trouble-shooter found here
System >Troubleshoot >Other Trouble-shooters >Windows Update?
Have you used this and what does it report?

Thanks Dan for coming back. Windows update works and reports that I am up to date.
I suspect that this is of my making over the years. I had removed the need to log in on start up and had been using another account with ‘admin’ privileges. It looks like these privileges do not include system updates. I have returned to needing to log in so that I can see all the accounts but found that the real admin account is corrupted.
Before I go any further I am going to clone the system disc just in case it all turns to rats. The last fresh install took a couple of days to sort out. Anyway, It’s an excuse to get a faster one..

I've not had issues with Windows 10 with a 'standard' account not updating, as expected to change any settings or to install programs I have to enter Administrator Password when prompted. Both the administrator account and the standard user have to be logged in.
I only have one Windows 11 device and it's a HP laptop with one user which is my Microsoft account, this account is a administrator for the local user. I also have to login on this device.
Don't envy you rebuilding a PC from scratch, I use clonezilla for images and always keep a know good image to revert back to in times of trouble or before installing any new product I'm not sure about.

If it's stuck on 21H2 (23H2 is current) is there a "compatibility" issue with W11 hardware requirements?
If it's an "older" machine and a few "tricks of the trade" have been used to install W11 on a notionally incompatible system it won't "upgrade" to either 22H2 or 23H2 and presumably not the approaching 24H2 (final W11 version?) without using the same/similar "tricks".
Maybe worth running the PC Health Check "App" to see if that flags anything?
