Solved No more 23H2?..........

rdburke · Jul 13, 2024

I am running the Release Preview Build Windows 11 Pro 23H2 (Build 22631.3880)......Is that it? I went to the UUP Dump and all I find is 24H2 Builds in place now. If that is the case I am out because the .DLL hack that I was using to install the Insider builds does not work with 24H2. Am I done as an Insider unless I buy a compatible computer, which I have no plans in doing....I have been an Insider almost from the beginning. Hate to leave but I really don't have a choice.

Build 22631.3880 is the latest 23H2 release. This includes the July 2024 Patch Tuesday updates. Note that this is NOT a preview build, the is a standard released, fully supported version.

If your intention is to go to a release preview build, one option would be to download the latest build (26100.1150) from here and simply install it right over the top of your release. This will maintain your settings and programs:

Download Windows Insider Preview ISO

Once again, note that 26100.1150 is the very latest in the Release Preview builds, including the July 2024 Patch Tuesday updates.

22631.3951 is available on the RP channel. See the Windows 11 News sub-forum.

Release Preview is currently running updates for 23H2 and 24H2 in parallel. From the way you talk about it, I'm guessing that you may not be signed in as an Insider, and that you get all your Insider builds from UUPDump.

If you want 24H2 Release Preview, then you can get it through Windows Update in your existing RP 23H2 build. You'll need to enrol the PC in the RP channel, turn on 'Get the latest updates...' in Window Update, then check for updates. You should be offered the 24H2 Feature Update.

You do not need to sign up for Insiders to be able to do this, I haven't. Instead I use the OfflineInsiderEnroll.cmd script to enrol in Insider channels.

You are correct that the appraiserres.dll trick no longer works for installing any 24H2 build on an unsupported device, but this Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd scrip does work for 24H2. I have used it to enable Windows Update to install feature updates in Canary, Dev, and RP on my unsupported devices, System Two and System Four (in 'Other Info') in My Computers below.

No, you are not done. The Skip_TPM_Check_on_Dynamic_Update.cmd script is a lifeline. With it installed Windows Update skips all checks when installing any 24H2 feature update, as you can see here:

I really appreciate this info but even with all my previous certifications I failed to learn how to execute scripts. I wish I had.

This script is just like a batch file. Simply double-click it to run it.

NOTE: I have not checked instructions for this particular script. If it requires that you run it as an Administrator, then rather than simply double-clicking it, you would right-click it and choose to run it as Administrator.

To download the .cmd script just go to the link in my post #4, click the ... menu, and select download. Save it anywhere you like, the .cmd file is a text file, you can open it in Notepad to see what is in it.

I use this script on all my unsupported devices running the Insider 24H2 builds. Yes, you need to run it as administrator.

Ok, I did as you said Bree. Can I now continue to do the in-place upgrades as I have been all along. I am signed in with a MS account. I have never set up a local account on any of my machines. Sorry for being so ignorant to this but the .DLL trick has been my go to for so long I have never tried anything else. It's hard to teach old dogs new tricks.

Has anyone created a step by step tutorial on how to do this procedure?

1. Download script.

2. Right-click downloaded script, run as administrator.

3. Done. Now you're all set to receive future updates.

Ok, I have done all of that and it seems to be working properly. I now have my MS Windows Insider Program working again but I get this when I try an in place upgrade. Now I have to go see if I can find this and turn it on.

NOTE: You do NOT have to enable Secure Boot. Your system merely needs to support Secure Boot in order to meet Windows 11 requirements, but it does not need to be enabled.

Could you tell me what make and model PC you are using so I can attempt to look up some details? If this is a home built PC, then the make and model of the motherboard is all that I need.

hsehestedt · Jul 18, 2024

Sorry, I forgot to mention that even if your system does not support Secure Boot at all, we can easily work around that.

hsehestedt · Jul 18, 2024

If you want to get upgraded and don't want to bother with Secure Boot, do this:

Copy the text below to a text file and save it somewhere easy to get to such as your desktop. Rename the file to bypass.reg. Double-click on the bypass.reg file. It will ask if you want to merge the contents of the file into the registry. Allow it to do so.

Start your upgrade again. It should now work.

BTW, you can delete that bypass.reg file if you wish at any time after you run it. We no longer need it.

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHC]
"UpgradeEligibility"=dword:00000001


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup]
"AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU"=dword:00000001


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassRAMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001

I created the .reg file. Let's see how this goes.

Sorry, when I said that I was awaiting results, I meant the results of trying to install after running the bypass.reg.
