Windows 11 24H2 Update Error

dacrone said:

EDIT 2 @LurkingCrayon i'm curious if we have you do an in-place upgrade with the EXACT build number you currently have. run "winver" and tell me the exact number of the build (including all decimals). i'll find the .iso for that exact build

also - try clean boot and running the 24h2 iso upgrade:

What is a Windows Clean Boot?

Troubleshooting Windows 10 and Windows 11 can be a complex process due to the many different drivers, settings, and programs interacting simultaneously. This varied environment may lead to software conflicts that manifest in several ways, oftentimes as Windows struggling to start up properly or updates failing to install. Performing a clean boot can help with locating the conflict by booting only Windows applications and drivers.
