Hello
I never had any problems with my PC .
Windows 11, version 24H2 update is ready to install, I approve the restart, it starts working, stops at 68% for 5 minutes, then restarts and turns off PC. When I booth back, it simply wants to download it and install it again.
Troubleshooter shows Error but offers no solution.
I have downloaded the ISO and followed all instructions, but 26% in, the installer just stops all goes back to windows and says Windows 11 instalation failed.
Any ideas?

It's ridiculous that end users are forced to jump through these sorry if his just too run the update to the new windows version. Microsoft really need to sort this out
A lot of users are going to be crashed into a wall now they have taken the brakes off again 🤣. I've given it out that I'm not going to give out brother in law support. Microsoft can do that.
Well said. Microsoft has screwed up badly with this update. So now we have two updates that won't work on many machines - Win 10 to 11 and 11 to 11. So, does this mean I have to buy another machine?? I think not.

I did all of the above and more for days. Even the two updates from earlier in the week wouldn't install properly.
What worked for me is something I discovered by accident. Under 'Advanced Options' there's 'Recovery.' Click that and then go to 'Fix problems using Windows Update.' It will install the very latest edition of Windows 11 24H2 "repair edition" (or something like that it said next to it,) without deleting any of your settings or programs. It basically overwrites and/or replaces any missing or corrupt files.
It takes a good couple of hours but might be worth a try for anybody still having problems.
I have had the same problem, and tried so many solutions but this is the only thing that worked for me.

Fixed!!!
That type of fix you find on many I did trillions of them. Was the last check on compliant drivers that did the trick and removing them with nothing. Don't reckon that's there.
The added complication is that some revised drivers aren't 24h2 compatible whilst old ones are so if you do an upgrade of a driver and get one of them you are stuck.
Time will tell whether Microsoft can make the 24h2 upgrade work now they are taking the brakes of it again. The second issue they revert drivers, the first one where the user has some software installed that doesn't pass the final boot into 24h2 means they would have to junk those old incompatible drivers or replace then in an automated way. Issue being the enforced secure boot that they put into 24h2.... that which I believe some people turned off at installation in 24h2 to get it installed. Unless that's in the command above.
So yes it was the the "memory integrity readiness Microsoft tool" that finally got it to work after removing one problematic driver. The fixes can generally be done by doing an inplace restore which dusts down the system rather than a long list of start, stop etc. So for me those didn't work and I got tired of doing them and reading them. 🫣 As said I believe some people turn the back end of UEFI security checks off rather than dealing with the issue.
