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

    They got a lot on at the minute. Possible take over of TikTok that will be a nightmare 🤣.

    Windows 24h2 is a self inflicted wound. Changing the spec to tighten up security, they would have to untighten it. You got till next year till security updates will run out on 23h2. 25h2 is to continue with Windows 11 so the story goes. They got themselves in a bind.

    I noticed this 24H2 announcement from Microsoft a while ago:

    **I don't know if that's a good or bad thing??**🤔

    It's a dreadful thing. And I think it's even against the law in Europe. So...

    It would seem to make the problem worse with a new bunch of users coming over. It's what the users have put on the machine which is outside Microsoft’s control if they don't relax the security in 24h2 Windows 11. My take on it.
