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?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

    Did you run the hvciscan_amd64 tool to identify non compliant drivers, and the farbar tool?

    I have repeatedly tried to install 24h2 without success. I have done all the steps outlined in the post to include trying to install with an ISO. I ran the health check which basically tells me that this computer meets all the hardware requirements; not surprise since it has been running Windows 11 for several years now.

    I am at a loss. If I don't need to install it, fine, but I want to quit having the update download the next day after a failed install. Also, will I get other updates without getting past this particular one?

    This has been the worst update I have had to deal with. I have two laptops that the update ran on, but my Dell XPS 8930 is just not a happy camper.

    I found this interesting article from Dec 29, 2024:

    Microsoft Warns Millions Of Windows Users—Do Not Install This Update On Your PC

    That's been known for a few days now. If you have the December update installed, cumulative you are fine... but there is another one now 🤣. You'll find that. That's don't install via MSI the cumulative updates and if you have delete and install another way.

    Think if they aren't updating you are probably better to do the inplace restore / repair then it will rebuild to December or onwards. I'm looking to see how the January cumulative update installs if there is one.

    I think that my updates have come OK?
