Windows 11 Pro for Workstations v. 24H2 build 26100.3775
Howdy all. I committed the cardinal sin of pre-emptively installing 24H2 from a USB drive over October/November 2024, when the usual roll-out was taking too long for my liking. As I now understand it, this left me unable to receive security updates from Microsoft. I have, in truth, not seen a single one since The Calamity. I have now twice reinstalled Windows off later ISOs, but the problem persists. So now I’m wondering, is there a fix for this in the works from Microsoft, or are we left to our own devices? Also, if one of you could point me at a more recent ISO I would be ever so grateful. It seems to me that a further reinstall of Windows off an appropriate ISO would be the only way forward for me. If anyone knows of a different fix I would love to hear it. If there is a thread already dealing with this issue that I’ve missed, please accept my apologies and pop me a quick link. Thanking yous.

Hi

You can download the latest 24H2 ISO from the link below.

Option One; Will get you Windows 11 Version 24H2 build 26100.2033 ISO file with install.esd.
Option Two; Will get you Windows 11 Version 24H2 build 26100.1742 ISO file with install.wim.

Option One Build 2033 is obviously the latest.
You could create the install media and perform an In-Place Upgrade. Perhaps that might get you past the Security Update bug.



BUT… You’re alledgedly running build 26100.3194. Not sure how you have the Security Update bug. Perhaps there is another issue altogether.

Maybe first try resetting Windows Update?


If that doesn’t work, If it were me. I’d download Option Two: Build 1742 (the only 24H2 ISO & Build that I found any good) and start from there.

Hi PCUser. Yes, I'm definitely missing daily security updates. Only started going south when I manually updated to 24H2.

Hi

You can download the latest 24H2 ISO from the link below.

Option One; Will get you Windows 11 Version 24H2 build 26100.2033 ISO file with install.esd.
Option Two; Will get you Windows 11 Version 24H2 build 26100.1742 ISO file with install.wim.

Option One Build 2033 is obviously the latest.
You could create the install media and perform an In-Place Upgrade. Perhaps that might get you past the Security Update bug.



BUT… You’re alledgedly running build 26100.3194. Not sure how you have the Security Update bug. Perhaps there is another issue altogether.

Maybe first try resetting Windows Update?


If that doesn’t work, If it were me. I’d download Option Two: Build 1742 (the only 24H2 ISO & Build that I found any good) and start from there.
Hi antspants. I am running .3194. I've been able to update to the latast build as they come out, just the security updates are lacking.

Right, I've reset Windows Update and Local Security Policy, and am currently downloading the x64 ISO from Microsoft. Once that's done, I'll disable my AV and VPN, and do an in-place repair install of Windows. I'll be back.

@Dissip Here are the most recent updates with 24H2 in the Quality Updates, Definition Updates, and Other Updates.

I thought this might be of use to you even if only for a quick reference. The screenshot images are below...
I hope this helps.

P.S. I apologize if this has already been addressed, did you try the Windows Update reset?

What do I do when I cannot update Windows?​


janvier 28, 2019

One issue that we hear in technical support is the Windows Updates keep failing or getting stuck. If none of these work or you need help following any of these steps, please contact technical support.

If Windows Updates seem to be stuck or unresponsive at 0%, 32%, 62%, 87%, or 99%, please wait at least 4 to 7 hours and typically Windows Updates will continue.

If Windows Updates does not progress or an error stating Windows Updates failed you should try running the Windows Updates Troubleshooter first (Find it by typing Troubleshoot Settings in the taskbar and running it) before the troubleshooting steps below:

Method 1: Run DISM and SFC​

  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt. Press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the search results and select Run as administrator.
  2. Enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").
  3. Enter DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"). (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to run and complete.)
  4. Again, enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").

Method 2: Manually Reset Windows Update Components​

Resetting Windows Update Components will fix those corrupted Components and will help the Update installation quickly. To reset Windows Update Components, follow these steps:


  1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt. Press and hold (or right-click) Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the search results and select Run as administrator.


  2. Stop BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands:


    1. Net stop wuauserv


    2. Net stop cryptSvc


    3. Net stop bits


    4. Net stop msiserver


  3. Rename SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. To do this, type the following commands:


    1. Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old


    2. Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old


  4. Restart BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and Windows UpdateServices. To do this, type the following commands:


    1. Net start wuauserv


    2. Net start cryptSvc


    3. Net start bits


    4. Net start msiserver

    5. Restart your computer and try to install Windows Update.

Media Creation Tool​

If none of the above methods have worked, you will need to use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool.
  1. You can find this tool online at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10
  2. Once at the site, select Download tool now. If given a choice to run or save, choose save.
  3. Once the tool completes downloading, please run it.
  4. The first screen that pops up may state SmartScreen can't be reached right now. Choose Run
  5. A new screen will appear that says Getting a few things ready. This may take a few minutes but on the next screen Accept the license terms. Getting a few things ready will appear again.
  6. Choose Upgrade this PC now then select Next and let Windows complete the upgrade.
  7. If this does not resolve the issue, please follow steps 1-5 again. When you get to step 6 choose to create installation media instead of upgrading. You will need a USB flash drive and then follow the steps to create an installer on the USB drive. When complete, reboot and run Windows Upgrade from the USB drive.

Which antivirus do you want to use as your "default". If GData is the default then Windows Defender won't take over.

Which antivirus do you want to use as your "default". If GData is the default then Windows Defender won't take over.
Yes, it's G DATA.

Latest in this sorry saga: having done an in-place repair install of Windows and reset Updates and Security Policy, I found that the three profiles that are not me (wife, daughter, daughter) had mysteriously disappeared. Their folders are still on C:, but Windows don’t know about them. Ah michty me. You can’t make it up. So, tonight it’s a restore from backup for me, and then try again. Thank you all for your invaluable support. I’ll come back to you 😒

Hi everyone. After much travails, I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of this. Having followed your varied advice, I was getting this message on occasion:

1740595631393.webp

It would get to this point, indicating that security updates would be downloaded, but it would never progress past this to actually downloading them. I plugged the wording of the message into my favourite search engine and got this video in return:


It is well worth the watch. I followed Step 2 and tried Windows Update straight after. Bingo. The first Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus since 3 August 2024 downloaded immediately. I think the logjam has been cleared. For good measure I also followed Step 5, creating a batch file named Wufix.bat and running it as Administrator. All seems good in the hood.

I would definitely add this video to my toolkit. If anything like this thread pops up again, I would urge you good folk to recommend it. Worked for me!

Thank you all for your time and input!

I wrote a story on the topic of manually updating Defender for ComputerWorld back in November 2023. You may find some of its techniques useful, when the auto-update via WU or through Defender itself do not work.
