This was a 5-6 hour process... WTH Microsoft... :(

Woohoo... It took forever to download and install... but installed perfect

I've been sitting at 2% Downloaded for over 20 minutes now... (I'm on 2 gigabit internet)... but this is sadly common for Windows Updates... Hope it goes smooth.

Quick Update: I still haven't gotten it installed, but I did track down the main cause of the GSoD's and it's Oculus VR Library Service

I read that the error is most often caused by drivers/hardware, so I unplugged everything from my laptop, made sure I updated all my drivers and have have nothing in Device Manager with issues... And... another Green Screen.... This is ridiculous at this point.

My system has attempted this 3 times so far (at 2+ hours EACH) and the end result is a Green Screen of Death, a Revert, and error code 0xc1900101... Nothing like Microsoft making you mess with DISM at 5am (after not sleeping) to attempt to fix their brokenness so you have enough time to finish...

Nevermind... Thank you again Edwin... Turns out, doing Win+R 'Notepad' or running it from the Start Menu shows that it's running and no window is displayed (as mentioned above) but actually opening a *.txt file opened the app properly and instantly with all the previous tabs along with the file...

Thanks @Edwin I managed to find all of them, just have to figure out how to extract the data (renaming to txt didn't pan out well so they're encoded in and not just 'containered'). I mean, I can 'mostly' get the context from them I think/hope... but it'd be nice to get the original data back.

Install went smoothly for a change... but I just realized you can't open Notepad... the process will run but no window is ever displayed anymore... Anyone know where the 'scratchpad' for unsaved notes are located on the drive, if I can extract that stuff I'll finally just bail on that app since...

Weird... If I hit "Retry" for that specific update it kept failing with the same error number... but this time I said "Might as well hit Retry All instead" and it now claims it's up to date and that update disappeared... I'm running Microsoft Windows 11 Pro β v25H2 26220.7755 right now...

I have this one listed, but it's failed with Error 0x80246019 and hasn't worked yet... :( This happened a bunch from the last release and I think I had to resort to an In-Place upgrade to force it... but DISM, SFC, etc. all report normal...

The Windows 11 Key for the other language won't change the language by default, but it won't install properly without formatting the system (Fresh Install) for the proper language. Klucz Windows 11 dla innego języka nie zmieni domyślnego języka, ale nie zainstaluje się poprawnie bez...

You’re right and I misspoke… it’s been awhile since I dealt with them since I still have a pile of spare keys and don’t hesitate to use those if it doesn’t automatically activate instantly For whatever reason I had transferring on my mind…

Depends on a few things… if the system is associated with your Microsoft Account, it ‘should’ convert the key to a Digital License… meaning if you don’t change too much hardware (certain rules) when you reinstall, logging into the same MA will activate it automatically

That's what I figured... I figured I could hide the useless stuff behind 'More' if I was at least able to put them in the order I want... Like having a button telling me to install WhatsApp and Instagram, etc. that I will never use just wastes space. Guess I'll wait for the feature to evolve...
