Hi

As per heading of question, my laptop is enlisted in Windows Insider Program for Windows 11 Home edition. I had been receiving insider updates and all installed smoothly. Bu the update as per subject line became available 2 days ago and i proceeded with download and install. After 100 % installation, restart prompt flashed. i promptly restarted but for some reason laptop was taking inordinately long time to apply all updates. After 1 or 2 restarts, laptop simply shut down instead of restarting. I started laptop using power button. And now i received message that last update failed and hence reverting to last known configuration. Laptop finally reverted to earlier state. But again update became available as i have enabled auto update. I downloaded and installed update once again. But this time before restarting, i checked all the drivers were upto date, UEFI and other boot options were enabled, and i removed all USB plugged peripherals. BUT when i clicked the restart again after 1 or 2 restart while applying updates, the laptop just shut down. And when i switched it on , again the process of reverting to last working configuration started. My laptop fulfils all requirement for Windows 11. It is Acer Predator G9-791.

I need to know why this update is failing to install and reverting to present configuration. Kindly advise , any and all inputs are welcome

here i am sharing link to feedback hub as suggested - https://aka.ms/AAp1vq4

So guys and gals, here i am posting a way to resolve it. If you are enlisted in Canary or Beta channel, then update is going to fail invariably. But if you are on Dev channel, then there are very good chances of the update going through. But for changing from Canary or Beta to Dev channel, you will have to install Windows Insider build 23165 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windowsinsiderpreviewiso?wa=wsignin1.0.

Give it a shot and see whether it resolves it for you as it resolved this update error for me.

    I am also on the Dev channel and the installation failed every time around 75% with a BSOD/GSOD. I disabled all 3rd party/non-Microsoft services using msconfig and the installation completed. I then reenabled all the disabled services and was again getting a BSOD at the login screen. Using safe mode, I selectively reenabled the services until narrowing down the issue to "Lighting Service" which is the service that controls the ASUS Aura LED lighting controls of my mainboard. I have now disabled the Lighting Service and strictly use OpenRGB to control my LED lighting and haven't had an issue since.

    Hope this helps others.

    No there was no error while installing. This error code is shown in update settings after failed update.

    Put this $Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback in search and hopefully it will have the information we need to work out what is happening.

    $Windows.~BT\Sources\Rollback this file can be quite long so its best to put on OneDrive (or Google drive etc) and share a link, make sure there is no personal information in it before sending a link.

    This is taken from this Microsoft site Log files and resolving upgrade errors - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Learn and it's the files setupdaig should be finding.

    Once we know what is causing it and we can rectify it, hopefully you will be able to update.

    EDIT: [NEW] We are investigating an increase of reports of insiders rolling back when attempting to install the latest build (with error code 0xC1900101).

    I had the same error, after disabling the services at Windows startup, I managed to install it successfully.
