My webhotel offers only Plesk. People who know composer have advised that using composer needs access from Plesk to operation system prompt.
I have updated minor Drupal 11 versions using old style uploading zip file and copying new files from the zip.

Now I should update Captcha and Forum modules but have found only composer  instructions.

I have never used composer.

Are there any means to update and upgrade Drupal using Plesk?

yeah Plesk makes it a bit tricky without composer . you can still do it manually by updating core files just take a backup and run update.php after that.

Thank you.
Yes, that is what I still do with Drupal 11 updates. I just updatet using zip file D11.3.3 to D11.3.8
But modules I cannot update, because have not found any instructions for manual updating without composer.
I should update captcha and forum modules.

It gets a little trickier without Composer to update contrib modules. Many modules have 3rd-party vendor dependencies. I suppose you can take a look at the composer.json file of that module, and work out which dependencies need to be installed. You can still download a zip file from the module's release page.

The other option that will be very helpful in the long run is to create a local environment with full Composer support. Make your updates locally, and then transfer all files to Plesk.
