The Windows update compatibility check runs a scheduled task that runs periodically compared to PC Health Check App which shows information in real-time. So, if you turned on a requirement like TPM recently, the status in Windows update would take a while to change, so give it a day or two. If you cannot wait, update manually using the steps below:

Check Windows 11 compatibility

Download Windows 11

Use the Installation Assistant to Download Windows 11

Alternatively, download an ISO file and Run Setup.exe to Start the Upgrade, using Windows 11 Media Creation Tool.

    Will MS be fixing the windows update? Once you do all the stuff to allow your computer to be Windows 11 compatable (like Enabling Secure Boot, Enabling TPM 2 in Bios, etc)....then after running (the 2nd time) the MS Health Check App and finding your computer is now compatible for Windows 11.....the Windows Update should get "reset" and state that you are now Windows 11 compatible.
