One or more essential features are disabled, so the feature cannot be enabled.

Try to update and remove components only.
If your image works, you can test if it is some of all your add-ons.
One by one.
Maybe you try and activate a feature that you have removed or try and insert it with one of your add-ons.
It is not known, as the content of your add-ons is not known - both regs and post-setup.

KB5040709 (Dynamic Setup for Server 23H2, July 2024)
KB5041655 (Out of Box Experience, July 2024)
KB5041585 (Aug 2024 CU)
KB5041587 (Aug 2024 Preview)

You're using the free edition, which doesn't unlock the Updates Downloader feature and requires you to find your own Updates.

This list has several problems:
KB5040709 is the wrong version of SetupDU for non-Server editions. Search the Microsoft Updates Catalog.

Aug 2024 Preview replaces the Aug 2024 CU. Every month's Preview is the upcoming month's CU provided for early testing. Since the Preview is always newer than the same month's CU, there is no point to include both. Choose the CU or the Preview, but not both.

NTLite knows to skip the superseded CU, but it's a waste of time listing more than one Monthly CU.

I did what you said, I removed the cumulative update duplication, leaving the preview.


As for checking for my own updates, I always do that, as you can see in the preset file, I don't use NTLite's automatic updates.

Previously it worked with these same presets, so in fact the reason is with NTLite itself.
 
Exactly my point. If a problem arises, try and divide it into several phases.e.g. NTL's point divisions.
Then you will mostly discover that the problem can be isolated and you will know where to look for it/ alternatively solve it yourself.
