Windows 11 upgrade download stops at 8% then goes back to update screen
It is July 3rd now and the issue still remains, download stops at 8% for "windows 11 upgrade" via windows update, "some files missing" message still displays. Tried all the solutions suggested. Don't want to put a new c drive in and do aclean install and lose all my apps.
get error - CHostIsUEFICompliantChecker failed. [Failed to check whether host has UEFI disk layout.] HRESULT = 0x80070003[gle=0x00000001]
But C: drive IS GPT and UEFI and system information says BIOS Mode UEFI.- No extenal drives - have a web cam, disconnected that and it made no difference.
Surely you have external drives connected, or other devices permanently to your computer -> it looks like disconnecting this, restarting and trying to update has a chance of success.
- Thanks - The PC is on 24/7 except for some restarts occassionally.
- sometimes restarting your computer every 2 hours can help.
- I just think that my version of Windows 11 is not ready yet.
- All drivers are up to date. Updates from store for most apps/software.
Do you download updates for apps directly from the Microsoft Store?
Have you downloaded the latest drivers from your PC manufacturer's website?Deleted Defender Tampering Restore Removed
