Hello to all.

I have a very peculiar situation.
On an unsupported machine (Core i5-4460, 12GB RAM, no SecureBoot), running 26300.8553, I am unable to install any updates past that.
Up till the 26300.8553 all the updates installed just fine.

I have tried several updates post 26300.8553 and all updates of the 26340 build.
I have tried with msu directly, or with dism, and with several ISOs, either official or from UUP.

All ended with errors and failure to install.
I have tried several times to perform an in-place upgrade through any official or unofficial ISO, either through File Explorer or with
Code:
setup.exe /auto upgrade /dynamicupdate disable /copylogs C:\SetupLogs

The latest official ISO 26340.9482 gets even worse.
The setup.exe starts for maybe 1 second and fails silently, there is no window or error.

I have tried .msu and .cab files, either directly or with
Code:
dism /online /add-package

I have run several times all of these and have restarted multiple times
Code:
start /B /wait chkdsk /scan
start /B /wait dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore
start /B /wait dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
start /B /wait dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
start /B /wait dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
start /B /wait dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /SPSuperseded
start /B /wait sfc /scannow
start /B /wait dism /online /Cleanup-Image /Startcomponentcleanup /resetbase

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar situation. I was in Windows 11 25H2 26200.9168 and could not update to a newer build. I run the following commands:
Code:
Dism.exe/online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
sfc /scannow
Dism/Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
sfc /scannow
I then stopped certain services, renamed the folders where the updates are downloaded, enabled the services again and restarted. I used these commands:
Code:
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptsvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
net start wuauserv
net start cryptsvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

Then I restarted and searched for updates again. This time I could install build 26200.9445 successfully and any other updates. My computer is also unsupported (2nd system specs).

PS: After you stop the services open Task Manager and go to the Services tab. Verify that they have stopped before attempting to rename the folders. If a service is running click on it and click the Stop button to stop it.
