Why am I still on 24H2?

My Windows 11 machine is still on 24H2, every time I ask it to check for updates, it says there's no updates. 25H2 released in September, yet it hasn't rolled out to update to me yet? Why?

You may want to go to Windows Update > Update history and check out for any failed installation. Also, go to Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates and see if there is any pending update. 

I do remember I had to install 24H2 repair version last August before 25H2 got installed in mid October.

The only optional update is 2026-04 preview for KB5083631 which is 26100.8328 (a preview for 24H2).

    Give it a try and see if updates start rolling again.

    Alternatively, you can https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=108398 and go from there.
