Windows 11
Hello,

We have Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session, it's a Azure Virtual Desktop computer and it doesn't do feature updates,
currently at 10.0.22000.2716
1707832425874.png
I was just wondering, has anyone updated this version of win11 to 23h2, I can't seem to find a way to. I do not have the ISO to directly install it and windows update doesn't work either.

French for "You are up to date" "Last verification: yesterday: 12h03"

I had tried forcing the Windows 11 update before on december and it saw 23h2 but it got stuck and never installed uppon reboot and i had to remove the softwaredistribution to get it to start updating normal cumulatives

Our update software always fail saying it's missing requirement but doesn't say what

Any insight would be welcome!

Thanks

Upgrade Win 10 to Win 11, using the setupprep.exe method. Bypasses all hardware checks.

No need to update 10 to latest version first. Bypasses all hardware checks. So it will upgrade to win 11 older PC that do not meet their requirements. The CPU requirement is terrible as normally it wont allow an installation on older CPU like 7th gen INTEL CPUs. This PC I updated to 11 version...

If I had it would try what I did earlier. You download the entire disc image iso from microsoft.com, 6.4gb, and let the installer figure the version to install by itself. Installs off the hard drive, no usb booting.

Those do not follow the standard update protocols as the machine is virtual.

I doubt you will be able to do anything with this OS.
An installation from scratch is worth a try though.
Was it a company owned machine?

It's a virtual machine in our Azure Tenant. We used to have win10 and it was updating.

We validated that TPM was on and enable on the guess machine.

It's the only AVD we have and it's a production one so i can't really test. I'm not sure about using the normal iso to update this sku as I don't exactly know what it will be installing.

The hardware is tied to this type of licensed product and I don't know if it will let you do an upgrade to the standard release.
I have never tried so I can't answer. As it is, it is not possible to update the OS as updates are on a different channel.
Was it on a FSLogix managed environment?

We were on the previous version but we remove it because we didn't like the way it was working.

so all FSLogix are off/ uninstalled

I know when I updated using setupprep.exe /product server method, the install immediately started, and it said which OS version it was going to install.
It told me windows 11 pro, which is what I had. That method bypasses all hardware checks and is automated. You had to click next to continue at the beginning

Why would the OP use that? His system passes all the requirements already.
I am done here, too much noise about unrelated issues.

I notice that, so that is why i suggested look at local group policies that may be causing the problem.
