Yep, same here...

Ah, I see. I checked and I was trying a different reg-patch - unsure where it came from. One minor glitch remains - the start menu is now much wider: 8 columns across, rather than the previous 6, as in your screen-grabs. Are there any registry-tweaks to change the size of the start menu...

Thanks for the reply. I try options 3 & 4 but neither worked on my system (applied the option(s) and rebooted). I've read elsewhere that the 8524 update has rendered options 3 & 4 ineffective, so I guess I'm in Limbo until 8553 (or whatever the next stable release is labelled), comes out?

So is it right to assume none of the above 4 options will work on Win 11 25H2 26200.8524?

I'm trying to think of a witty response, something to do with "ignite" then "crash & burn"? :-)

Okay guys, problem sorted. I needed to run RegEdit as admin - which I forgot to do! So the registry tweak in my initial post WAS all I needed to do to fool the installer... Thanks for you time. Cheers, Mike.

Of my 8 systems, this is the only one that still thinks it's a Brit :-) I want them all to be on the en-US Default system UI language. Makes administering a bit simpler. I managed to do it previously on a Windows 10 system, but can't for the life of my remember what I did.

Thanks for the reply. I've done all of that, but DISM is still showing "en-GB" as the "Default system UI language". I think the key is to change that to en-US, which I don't think can be done through settings. During the upgrade process, the installer appears to check the registry settings to...

The title says it all really... Originally one of my systems was installed from an en-GB Windows 11 ISO, but I'm wanting to perform an upgrade (from 24H2 to 25H2) using the latest en-US language ISO. I recall having a similar issue with a Windows 10 system, which I was able to remedy with a...

Typical, if I'd only waited another day I could've used that to perform my repair! :-) Nice to know though, I'll d/l it and keep that as my go-to ISO (for now!)

Right, this is what I did to finally (?) fix the recurring issue of the last 3 or 4 cumulative and security updates failing... My starting systems are all unsupported hardware, and were on Win 11 Pro 26200.6485 I tried most of the suggested solutions: sfc, DISM, cleaning-out the update caches...

Thanks for the replies... Today (12-Nov-2025 13:00 AEST) I downloaded the latest 25H2 ISO directly from the MS websites AND also used the Media Creation Tool to build a 25H2 ISO. Interestingly the two ISO were of noticeably different sizes and also different 'service-pack' versions...

Can somebody tell me if each successive "cumulative" update supersedes the ones before it? ie: If I missed KB5066835, will KB5068861 include all of the fixes & updates that were included in previous updates? If that makes sense...?

<sigh> Yet another one that fails to install on my system (26200.6725). Install error - 0x800f0991 I can add this to this list, along with KB5066835, KB5070773 and KB5067036

@zbook, Sorry, don't understand the need for a new thread - I thought we were discussing the inability to install KB5067036 and possible reasons/solutions?
