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

    similar problem Windows 11 Pro with 500 GB disc space available 1GB fiber internet 24H2 takes forever to download, the gets less then 50% and install FAILS Tried to install 24H2 over and over and keeps FAILING

    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.😒😒

    How true, how true!

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

    Soon be October. Those stuck on 23h2 will remain stuck on it... I suspect. Eventually they will have unsupported software. Hopefully for those on 24h2 it will be a smooth upgrade this time round.
