Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

STRANGE!

I did not remove any drivers or any software.

I did not remove my "third party antivirus product" (F-Secure).

I did not edit the registry.

I did not use any thirds party tools.

And - I did not change anything else on my laptop.

How do you comment this?

Because there is a given percent that install without an issue. That's is why. I've found that figure to be a staggering 50% on fully compliant W11 hardware. That's why. That figure has obviously dropped from all past releases. Sample size of two.

It's widely known that Microsoft has an issue with 24H2. They effectively admit it with their holds on the roll out and bug reports.

I'll also bring up your comment/answer above to my question Dec 28, 2024.

If what you said is true --> that would be a huge disaster and stress for millions of ordinary users!

They try ... try ... try to install 24H2 and nothing works as we have seen in this forum.

Why on earth would Microsoft do such a harsh thing to its own customers?

Could it be due to indifference, money, lack of resources or too big goals?

Who knows they laid off their testers so the story goes and use the Insider program instead. What I've seen in comments from those guys that evaluated 24h2 in the summer of 23h2 and said it wasn't very good. What happens when you use amateurs rather than professional. It wasn't released when they were blathering on about it.

They probably treat the PC / Laptop as a consumer item and expect you to go out and buy a replacement one that works which updates. A lot of personal time is invested by customers on what is on the hardware and certainly don't want to reinstall everything again at the whim of Microsoft.

Reality seems to be that a different version of Windows 12 was being developed. This is the story that has been suggested but they kept to the current Windows 11 line, with the bump in the road as they changed the backend security making the annual update problematic for some that had drivers that were not compatible. So yes, there is probably some truth in that.

I'm not asking relatives whether they have updated to 24h2 since if they are happy with what they have got, not worth worrying the elderly ;). Due to distance I can't sort it out if there was an issue.

what do you mean?

I MEAN THIS:

I installed the big 24H2 update on my computer (HP 470 G9 laptop, Windows 11 Pro).

**It failed several times at first,**when I tried to install it in several different ways!

Here are the different steps:

1) It originally appeared for download onWindows Update on Nov 22. I tried to download it 2 times – the downloadalways stopped at 8%

2)It appeared again on Windows Update on Dec 15. Now the download and installation proceeded to the end– but then theinstaller started automatically undoing the changes made to the computer --> revertedback to v. 23H2

3) I then tried installing from theISO file --> failed(for some reason it reported aproblem with the installation language (?)-->could not select the option at all: “Keep my files and apps”

**4) The update finally went well and without any problems with this method:**💻👍👍

I think the real issue with your setup is that, hile its a 'Microsoft' system (Surface) very few machines remain as they were shipped.

We all install programs, tools, etc to do those extra tasks.

Microsoft has no control over that.

Where they did screw up big time was introducing new security/memory integrity rules which all these extra programs/drivers break, without preparing their users for the issues that these would raise.

The update process needed to be much more robust, and helpful in telling people exactly which things were causing the update to bomb out.

Most users would struggle with the extra tools/scans/logs that were needed to diagnose the issues.

My thanks go to ramesh on here who patiently guided me thru these areas.

Great work. If only Microsoft had done that work BEFORE they released the update
