any one having issues after trying to do this update "2024-09 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 23H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5043145)" ?

Same problem — I allowed my Cyberpower PC to install updates before shutting down without checking what they were, then it got stuck at 91% & I haven’t been able to boot up since. Multiple restarts, multiple attempts at uninstalling the update which can’t be done since it never fully installed. I finally got the “something went wrong…” message, but the auto repair did not resolve the issue. Not sure what else to do since Microsoft doesn’t have a recommended fix listed on the KB page for this update.

When it restarts the first time after installation of the the update, it freezes. What I did was to

• hold the on/off button for a while to shut the computer down.
• push the on/off button for it to start again.
• it then resumed the reboot process and it froze again.
• redo step 1 and step 2
• You should now get a bitlocker screen which asks for your recovery key.
• Get the recovery key through aka.ms
• Enter it and press "Continue".
• It should now remove the update - if you get a message saying something like "Something didn't go as planned.... Don't worry..." you're on the right track.

Hope this helps,

Stefan

I too am having problems with this update. How do I get rid of it? The troubleshooter runs but it reports it cannot find anything wrong. Where do I go from there?

After installing this upgrade I got problems with overall functionality and performance with all my HP laptops: this update is broken. Uninstalling the update fixed all problems.

SImilar statup issues during KB5043145 installation on Asus Zephyrus Duo GX50PY. Bluescreen during startup after installation.

I had to use Bitlocker Recovery key and let Windows remove the update.
