Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

I, for one, did run the hvciscan_amd64 tool. Apparently, it found no incompatible drivers To wit:
C:\Temp> .\hvciscan_amd64

VbsGetIssues: 0x00020040

UEFI WX Memory Attributes Table required

8GB RAM required

VbsIsRecommended: 0

HVCI incompatible driver scan start...

HVCI: Driver scanning complete

HVCI incompatible driver scan passed!

And still, the dreadful update won't install. This little game has now lasted far too long. Let Microsoft sort that boo-boo out until one can install the thing without all those convolutions it has put its users through.

The whole caboodle is a digital scandal. Meanwhile, let whoever is in charge include me out. I'm giving up.

I studied Microsoft's guide: "Get help with Windows upgrade and installation errors" - it was horrible reading for a normal user.

It contains more than 30 possible error codes and suggested remedies if the update fails - several of which have been featured here as well.

And they also say that "common errors can be fixed with a few steps (??) that you can do on your own"

It came to my mind that "does Microsoft now live in the same world as millions of users?"

Does Microsoft really think that someone could follow these massive and time-consuming instructions - after all, it's often a user, not an IT engineer?

Is 24H2 already too big and ambitious update for Microsoft --> it doesn't seem to be now under "anyone's control" anymore?

Is Microsoft trying to pass on fixing their own errors to users by releasing such a massive number of possible error codes --> this causes a large number of users to be in such a "distress" due to lack of knowledge?

Certainly seem to be duff drivers that don't pass the first boot at 30%. Found one of those. I suspect the bulk updating of drivers in 23h2 prior to the update is where people go wrong. You are told you need to update drivers that are old but they can fail in the upgrade which stops at 30%. There are sticklers that won't unload low level programs.

The most frustrating thing about sorting out the update was reading the same old fixes that didn't fix it. They might have fixed getting to 23h2 but don't fix to getting to 24h2. Hvciscan was the one that fixed mine after nine weeks of trying. The memory integrity at the end of all this was the one. The error code was too general,

Personally I can't see Microsoft sorting it out since they have changed the installation rules unless they go back and weaken what they are trying to do in making the installation more tight... tight it is. Thus the clock is running till when support ends.

To all it concerns (that's meanwhile quite a lot):

Again, Microsoft urges me to do the accursed 24H2 Windows 11 update, which definitely can't succeed, as Microsoft and a huge amount of users know by now. That is, lest one does some time-consuming digital acrobatics, which I am not prepared to submit to and that don't even guarantee a positive outcome most of the time. So, I have decided to stop all updating until Microsoft has sorted out this mess.

Reckon you could wait a while. It's like launching Apollo 11 with the Luna LEM missing a leg. Some people think it will grow a leg on route.... doesn't work like that. Got to wait till Apollo 13 I reckon... why they ever numbered that like that who knows.

Seriously I think the hardware and range of drivers got more complex so changing the rules mid flight in Windows 11 was going to be problematic.

I had similar issues and had to contact Microsoft support. They helped and did fix whatever was stopping the install, but now I’m also having the computer performance issues like others have said. By the way, the agent who did the repair said he / she wasn’t aware of any 24H2 problems - seeing all of the issues, that seems to be concerning as well.

I find the File Manager has regained it's delay at first loading which was fixed in 23H2. Like it's building an index. The missing mouse cursor issue from time to time and one recent blue screen I'd never had in 23h2. HP All in one laptop.

The 13 year old hardware runs just dandy on it.. Those drivers I've never updated. Was one initial toothing issue but fixed by a software recovery restore. An initial hiccup reported elsewhere. All singing, all dancing Windows 11 modern hardware is the one where the issues arrive.

Yes you do see Microsoft solve 24h2 installation issues online after getting all the logs etc but that's going to be a lot of work for them to do.
