    You may want to try Sherif146's solution that was sent after you posted your notice. It is generic but it might help.

    no, already tried

    that is not the issue

    What did solve this part of the issue for me was to create and iso image of that update and then mount it and run it.

    That cured the errors with the 24h2 install

    However, the 24h2 update has caused issues with lan manager and LAN browse lists which are not resolved

    I have an open ticket with MS about that issue

    Please, can someone from MS look into it? I need to have all updates, because my system is my working system.

    MS knows there are many problems with the update, but they will not admit it

    They are no going to "look into it"

    You are going to have to do some work on your own

    start a support session on line

    I have the same issue. It has been going for maybe a week or more now. Is there any fix from MS yet?
