    If the 24H2 (repair) update is on your updates list, that indicates Windows has found a problem and it is trying to repair the problem.

    If that update is continually failing to install, the best option to resolve that and to bring Windows fully up to date is to perform an in-place repair with the Windows 11 ISO.

    Please ensure you download the ISO in the same language as you use for the Windows UI, follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.

    Click this link:

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

    to download the Windows 11 ISO

    When the ISO file completes downloading

    Disconnect from the Internet

    Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.

    Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed

    Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.

    Very Important - ensure you select the option to keep your files and apps.
