Windows 11, version 24H2 won't install

I did all of the above and more for days. Even the two updates from earlier in the week wouldn't install properly.

What worked for me is something I discovered by accident. Under 'Advanced Options' there's 'Recovery.' Click that and then go to 'Fix problems using Windows Update.' It will install the very latest edition of Windows 11 24H2 "repair edition" (or something like that it said next to it,) without deleting any of your settings or programs. It basically overwrites and/or replaces any missing or corrupt files.

It takes a good couple of hours but might be worth a try for anybody still having problems.

My hardware was 'fully compliant'.

It was the non compliant drivers from things like a Logitech webcam, asrock motherboard and Norton antivirus that clobbered mine.

Hardly unusual.

Despite the publicised problems with specific Asus machines, and audio issues, there was little warning that things would be this difficult. And the log files once found weren't much help in pointing to t the actual cause of the issues

I have tried probably 25 times over a month period and it goes maybe 33% Then it shutsdown...

everytime...very frustrating.

Further to my post, the stalled upgrade was adversely affecting our email (Outlook) and general system performance. Turning off updates for 1 week resolved them.

I have not been able to install 24H2 over 21H2 (installed 5/13/22). I have Windows Updates notify me and I manually install all of them. I frequently use Windows Update to manually check for updates. I don't know why I don't have 22H2 or 23H2 already. Yesterday 12/06/24 is the first time I got the task bar prompt

"Your version of Windows 11 has reached end of service. Click to download a newer version of Windows 11 to stay supported."

I ran Windows Update and got this:

"You're up to date Your device is missing important security updates. Make sure to keep your device on and plugged in so updates can complete.”

I downloaded Windows.iso to my desktop and ran Setup.exe. It failed.
I found followed these steps found on Microsoft forums:
Disconnected scanner and external drive. Ran SFC and DISM scans using Powershell:

sfc /scannow, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth, DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

I ran Windows Update and Advanced Options (I use Intel Driver Support, Norton Driver Updater, and Windows Update to keep my stuff up to date). I ran the Troubleshooter for Windows Update. I repeated these steps for two more attempts at Setup.exe. All three have failed. Here are the messages:
Each time, Windows 11 21H2 opened with the notice "We couldn't install Windows 11" and listed these reasons:

1st 0x8007001F - 0x3000D in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation

2nd 0x8007001F - 0x2000D in the SAFE_OS phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation

3rd:  0x8007001F - 0x3000D in the FIRST_BOOT phase with an error during MIGRATE_DATA operation

It seems the best advice I've found was in a Perplexity reference to learn.microsoft.com, is "Wait for Microsoft to resolve known issues."
