No, the update has not been resolved. I'm ignoring the notification. Maybe when the NEXT version comes out it will work.
Unable to install Windows 11 Update Version 23H2 (KB5036980)
I've been repeatedly trying to install this update, but each time I try to launch the update, it will suddenly stop at 96% and tell me there was something wrong with the install and my PC files would return to the previous "un-updated" state.
I've tried every method I could easily find online (Removing all non-essential hardware, did clean boot into Windows, et cetera.), but none of them fixed the isue and I'm suspecting it's a deeper, less common issue.

2025-01-08T01:10:39+00:00 Has this been resolved yet? I even tried reinstalling windows 11 but it just takes an hour, says there was an error, and that no changes were made.

2024-12-16T09:12:36+00:00 I contacted M$ online help, and the operator I reached ended up installing a "custom" form of Windows 11. It worked, but two weeks later, my laptop died.
