Instead of just silently continuing, rather run the code below which will continue when an error occurs, but give you the errors in the end, resulting in all other modules updating at least
Update-Help -Force -Ea 0 -Ev what
$what.Exception -

Personally, the reason this happen for me was that my regional settings are set to Australia.
It's kinda annoying, I want to update help, yet it thinks I won't understand the content. Or that's how I see it anyway.Try setting Region, language, and keyboard to the United States.
Then run Update-Help -Verbose -Force
If you add -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue, you won't see the errors.

Workaround for now:
Update-Help -Verbose -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
