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

    it's utterly ridiculous and totally irresponsible to dish out a 10 GB update.

    Indeed!

    About the reason(s), sorry but so-called security is just a bait. It smells more like some AI **** inserted into the app and, like I already said, a bunch of spywares and logical valves to remotely lock up some functionalities on demand.

    Whatever is proposed, it's up to M$ to solve the issue they created post-contract, not to the customer.

    Well they just messed this one up big time. Lost control of how upgrades work. You can see how it happened but it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Quite a bit of miss direction out there on how to fix it.

    The problem with making command line corrections by ourselves is it relieves M$ of its responsibilities and liability issues.

    They have to correct it or revert it.

    They expect you to buy new hardware or reinstall the operating system or take it to a repair shop. You are on self help. Ramesh on the link does help people by reading their log files but he must be a busy chap. You need to know your way around the system for people when guidance is given. If you don't, then you are stuck.
