Not able to install a windows 11 update, keeps on failing
My windows 11 have downloaded an update like 6-7 months ago and it’s been trying to install the update every week since then and it fails at 97%, then comes up with the message, “Something went wrong, don’t worry we are reverting the changes” something similar to that, how can I fix this issue?
Hi Joseph, thanks for reaching out.
What version of Windows are you using? (Press Windows + R and then type “WINVER,” and hit OK.
Make sure that you are connected to a stable internet connection and then try the following troubleshooting steps below:
Method 1: Run the Windows update troubleshooter
Click the Start Menu> Go to settings(gear icon) > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
Next, under Most Frequent, select Windows Update and click on Run > Follow the screen prompt
Method 2: Reset Windows Components
Enter “Command Prompt” into the Windows search box, then right-click and select “Run as administrator” to proceed. After the Command Prompt opens, input the following commands and press Enter after each:
