Windows 11 upgraded from W10 Rolled back and now no upgrade available!?

Hi

 

I guess there must be some bug in the way Intune detects if Windows 11 is installed or not, when rolled back to Windows 10 after an Windows 11 upgrade. 

 

I am testing Update rings with also feature update policy setup. 

The Upgrade was then available and upgrade to W11 from W10 went without issues.

Then I wanted to test roll back (Go back) option used on the client, just to know how to if a user should need that. Roll back to W10 went smoothly.

 

Now no W11 upgrade is available to install anymore. Tried a couple of basic stuff like restart(ofc 🙂 ) , deleted "SoftwareDistribution" folder, ran "sfc /scannow", triggered multiple Intune syncs from different areas like sync from Intune, sync from work/school in windows and from the task schedule "EnterpriseMgmt" -> "Schedule #3 created by enrollment client"

 

Maybe a reg key needs to be deleted or changed manually?

    Intune is still picking up remnants of the old Windows 11 installation, blocking the upgrade from showing again. Attempt to remove upgrade-related registry keys at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\WindowsUpdate, make sure TPM and Secure Boot are both enabled in BIOS, and attempt a manual upgrade using Windows Update Assistant.

Hope this helps!

    Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I'm experiencing the same issue.
