MiKTeX encountered an internal error
On MiKTeX you should always do the update twice:
So you should try to switch to the Admin mode of the MiKTeX console and make an update, before you try to make another update in user mode.
The file lock error can occur, if another program, e.g. an antivirus software,currently has locked one of the files of the MiKTeX installation. Sometimes waiting does help, sometimes a restart of windows is needed. Sometimes the locking process has to be deactivated. For average users it is a bit tricky to identify the locking process. For more information about windows file locking ask a windows forum.
Caveat: I'm neither a windows nor a MiKTeX expert.
- Do an update in the Admin mode of the MiKTeX console.
- Do an update in the User mode of the MiKTeX console.

Sorry, but I can no longer participate here as the administrator is trampling on my wishes on one of his other platforms.
