Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

How true, how true!

Does anyone that Microsoft read those myriad messages? I guess not. They all go in the digital waste basket...

Once again, I have to wonder about Microsoft's unforgivable INVOLVEMENT regarding the 24H2 bad installation problems.

They have been going on globally (millions of computers) for ½ year now, and no solution / fix seems to be found.

This forum is full of "anxious cries for help" about this! Many have already given up - so Microsoft doesn't seem to be reacting to the issue in any way.

Even the moderators have no way of giving a single "suitable", sufficiently simple solution for a NORMAL user.

For example, Microsoft has invest a lot now in artificial intelligence, but such a BASIC THING is left to function poorly.

I have used Windows for 30 years and I have never seen such a disaster before.😒😒

On the last two... it took my nine weeks to install Windows 24h2 on one laptop. Memory integrity of a driver was the issue on that. Mentioned that n ' th times. Happens at 70 percent when the final system is being made. If an existing driver fails the test it blows out. You can do the test outside, isolate driver, delete it and go for another update.

The early ones at 20 percent are drivers that aren't compatible with 24h2. That's like Windows 7/8 migration to Windows 10 will only cross the boundary on a set of drivers.

The error reports if you learn how to read them will tell you what's going on but a skilled task to read them. There are experts.

On fixes you got all the normal ones published that are regurgitated by "experts" which tend to be pre 24h2. You get use to quickly reading those... no, no, no. Those fixes in anycase are built into 23h2 where you can do an inplace update to 23h2. Resets everything back before you attempt to do the upgrade.

If you aren't seeking outside help with the error reports you have to be methodological in your working, keep a copy of the drivers. Don't update all the drivers, all together. Only use the manufacturers published drivers they can be modded. Driver changes can introduce issues which were not the original issue etc.

Ditch all non Microsoft virus checking programs and low level stuff.

Best of luck.

need phone help to install this update

Suspect it will be a long phone call.

They have suppose to have released holds on 24h2. How much that will be helpful the user base will find out.

You'll find all the old stuff about clearing the update queue which is regurgitated from previous versions of Windows 11. Doesn't help if it's not that. You wade through pages of it.

You either unskill yourself in reading the log files or you pass them onto someone who can. A phone call isn't going to do that.

It's important to uninstall non Microsoft virus checking programs. I would not go overboard with updating drivers since there are some out there that won't work with the migration. Only the PC / laptop manufacturers drivers should be used. These get modded. If you use Intel ones you can drop your hands on inappropriate ones. It doesn't help people saying update drivers... if you install a duff one although there is an element of truth in it.

It's important to know where the update goes wrong in terms of progress. Failing at circa 20% is different from a circa 70%. The latter one is where the driver memory integrity is checked. My issue. There is a Microsoft tool that will find those which you can delete. Took me 9 weeks to find the issue and many roll backs, failed installs etc. You are better off using the ISO method since it gives you more log information but here as I said you have to skill up to read these. There are experts that can read these, the other route.
