Q. you did tick all the boxes before Rufus started to created the bootable Windows ISO.
then please try with the USB connected to the system.
open explorer and browse to the USB drive. in this window double click setup.exe

this will start an in place upgrade of Win11.

please make sure your data is backed up.
best of luck, Steve ..

Just a suggestion, since nothing else is working.
Have you tried switching to Windows x-lite versions? I have them running on all of my windows devices without any issues.
It's basically windows without the bloatware and MS crap in it.

You download the version you want and install it using Rufus

Does this include any security software like Windows Defender?

Do you have any antivirus other than Defender?

when i tried to upgrade my two systems, both Win 11 compliant, the upgrade failed and i ended up doing a complete clean install.
that at least gave me to opportunity to partition the drives so i had separate Windows and data partitions.

it looks like you may have to head the same way.
best of luck, Steve ..

ps. could you post or fill in your complete computer specs please, that may help with this.

At this moment I plan on backing up my data, wiping the C drive and doing a fresh installation of Windows 10 Pro. Then try to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro using the Rufus method. There is something damaged internally file wise on my system.

why not just do a straight clean install of Win 11 using the Rufus USB.
best of luck, Steve ..
