    It's definitely frustrating when Windows Update keeps insisting on installing a version you already have. Since you're in the Insider Program's Release Preview channel, there are a few specific things that could be causing this confusing loop.

  • Can you pls clarify, if you're installing 25H2 or 26H2.

    Version 26H2 is available to Release Preview Insiders.

    You can perform the Version 26H2 ISO in-place upgrade, since Version 26H2 ISO is released by Microsoft.
