Windows 11 Pro can't update. Stuck on 21H2 (22000.434)


I can't speak to all this.

However, you can go from 22H2 to 23H2 via a small enablement package. Rather than an upgrade.


This is the solution, the enablement package.

During 09/24 and 10/24 there were a very large number of disk errors.

One was:
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.

Was one or more drives replaced?

On 12/03/2024 one of the drives reported a bad block.

(it could have been a disk or flash drive)


Run the chkdsk /b /v on all drives.

I want to make sure. I currently have a Windows Insider build - Dev channel.

The next update to 22H2 must also be for the Dev channel?

I'll have the image downloaded soon that @dacrone shared with me

I'll try to install it before I go to bed soon.

Okay, I'll try to scan all the drives one by one after I get some sleep.

Next, I'll take the computer apart and remove all the unnecessary drives.

Unfortunately, it didn't install from this ISO file.

I'm really tired of this. I'll try to scan all the disks today and see what happens.

Good night and thanks for help :)

Hey, I'm revisiting this thread. I managed to track down the faulty drive and replace it with a brand new WD Blue 1TB.

What steps can I take now to try to continue this thread?

Of course, the update still doesn't work. Neither from the ISO, nor from a USB drive with the ISO, nor through the Windows Update Assistant.

Admittedly, I have not read every post on this thread BUT if this is a Hackintosh we are discussing or, if you're using parts or partial software pulled from an Apple this could present a bit of a problem. If this happens not to be the case then I have a question: Have you tried installing a fresh copy of 24H2 on a separate drive? Myself, I would have opted for a 1TB SSD for the OS. Hopefully that is what you did. Upgrades are finicky and I don't trust them. With a fresh install you cut to the chase instead of wasting hours and hours of time fiddling with the OS just to coax the thing into accepting an upgrade.

    Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
According to chatGPT, this old Insider Preview version of my system has a blocked update channel, which also prevents me from updating from an ISO via USB. He recommended trying a few settings in Rufus, which might help, including:

Rufus will display a special window with installation options.

Select:

✅ Remove TPM 2.0 requirements
✅ Remove Secure Boot requirements
✅ Allow installation on unsupported builds ← MOST IMPORTANT
✅ Preserve user data (if available)

I'll be trying this option soon – Allow installation on unsupported builds – if there's one to check in Rufus.
