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?

    I also facing same problem

    24h2 not installing

    Please provide me solution

    We try all thing and i am trying from last 7 days still not reslove

    Please please support me

    7 days that's not long at all. I was at it for 2.5 months. There are many causes why it won't install and most of the simple solutions offered don't work.

    Officially you are told not to attempt the update unless you have been offered the update via the normal invitation. That can then fail which puts you in the same place whether you'd used the download screen.

    There are two mains boots the first on the drivers you have got and the final boot at circa 70%. If you aren't at 70% you are well back. Where I say you end of playing snakes and ladders between the two. Once you slip back down you have to get back up. My experience was that some of the update drivers were a problem. You are told to update the drivers, don't at first and if you do keep a copy of the previous one. There are driver free tools available but they can cause more harm than good.

    As far as errors are concerned you don't see the full error code untill you use the ISO method but Don't take the recommended option to update the drivers in that since it can introduce problematic drivers. You need the error codes to place you where you are when it failed. Snakes and ladders bit.

    The log files if read correctly will help. The final boot at 70% plus is where the memory integrity test is applied on the drivers. There is a separate tool which will tell you which drivers may fail this. If hitting above 70%, failing and it's a possible driver issue then well worth running the memory integrity tool. I just had one driver than failed this that caused me two months of grief... just one duff driver that wasn't being used but the software

    As far as I can see what Microsoft has done is reverted the update to how it was in Windows 7/8 to 10. Drivers had to match to cross that bridge then the added complication is memory integrity on the drivers. Old ones without the appropriate security won't pass beyond 70%.

    You must also remove all anti virus software other than Windows Defender and any other low level non Microsoft smart software for doing clever stuff. That's bound to fail. It will trip up on that. The log files if read correctly point that out. That's what the Microsoft help experts find on here when you share your log files if it comes to that.

    Farbar tool is the other one the experts like you to run. You eyeball the output. It was at that stage I concluded it wasn't a rogue program but some driver that was proving impossible to find.

    The cyclical stuff you read to do made no difference. They all say the same. Stop this service, start this service. Clear this, clear that.

    After all of this 24h2 will update your drivers.

    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 on Windows Update on Nov 22. I tried to download it 2 times – the download always stopped at 8%

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

    3) I then tried installing from the ISO file --> failed (for some reason it reported a problem 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:**💻👍👍

    Windows 11 Installation Assistant

    I would like to emphasize that this is one of the three official installation methods recommended by Microsoft!

    Microsoft: This is the best option for installing Windows 11 on the device you’re currently using.


    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11/

     

    Note! It is important to note that in order to proceed the installation process, everyone must first pass the WindowsPCHealthCheck (which can be launched from the link at the top of the downloaded Windows 11 Installation Assistant -application window)

    HERE IS A GOOD YOUTUBE VIDEO OF USING THAT! I hope this will help somebody:

    Hello…

    I am trying to reinstall my entire computer cos my motherboard went for a toss.

    My current system specs are on par with windows 11 requirements. Should I attempt a direct windows 11 install or update from 10. Both ways I am not able to proceed and getting stuck with errors. Also I am trying to update directly as soon as windows 10 was installed. Should I update all drivers and bios update and windows update and then try to update to windows 11.?.

    Well you are suppose to stick to the authorised updates from Windows rather than Intel BUT if using the ISO don't take the suggest route. You are advised not to.

    Suggest you try with your old drivers then adjust up. Once 24h2 is installed it does a driver update, but updating before can lead to incompatible drivers. It shouldn't do but can. Had that one.

    Then you have the incompatible memory driver test on the second boot. If it fails that it won't tell you the problem. That's where running the compatibility test identifies the issues.

    It's a question of passing boot 1, then boot 2. Like snakes and ladders.
