Windows 10: KB5041587 Update Literally RUINED my OS!

Tried to install Microsoft update KB5041587 the other day. Totally bricked my system. Force shutdown necessary. Power cycled and went to BIOS and ran system restore. All good so far. Then tried to install KB5041587 again. Took hours to supposedly update only to be told update failed.How do I block KB5041587 from ever appearing again in my Windows update screen?These are my system specsrocessor 13th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-1365U 1.80 GHz Installed RAM 32.0 GB 31.6 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Touch support with 10 touch points E

Running Optimize literally does nothing; in PS it yields an error

After doing a clean install of Windows 10 20H2 (OS Build 19042.906) and fully updating it, and updating all of the Dell drivers from Dell.com, I tried the following Optimize and Defrag options from How to Optimize and Defragment Drives in Windows 10 (tenforums.com/tutorials/8933-optimize-defrag-drives-windows-10-a.html):

• OPTION ONE: To Optimize Drives in Optimize Drives Tool: Steps 2, 3, and 4,
• OPTION TWO: To Optimize Drives in Command Prompt: Step 2, and
• OPTION THREE: To Optimize Drives in PowerShell: Step 3

The four steps attempted from Options 1 and 2 resulted in no notice action; i.e., it appeared as though nothing happened after executing the commands.

When I ran Step 3 of Option 3, I received the following error message.

What does this mean and now what do I do?

Thanks!

I will gladly dispose of any "ruined computer" that Windows 10 has "ruined". Just ship them to me and I will take care of disposing of the "ruined" hardware!
