Error while updating to 22563.1 (ni_release)
Hi,
I am currently on Win11 Dev build 22543.1000 trying to upgrade to the latest build available 22563.1. (ni_release)
Issue: I had tried updating many times in the past, it used to update and reboot and show the black screen and all, but after it reboots to login screen, when I run winver, I am still on the previous build without the new features... So I googled the situation, and stopped the service wuauserv and bits, then deleted SoftwareDistribution folder and then restarted the services... The folder recreated and I hit update... The update download, installed but same thing happened after reboot, was still on old build.
I then researched and reset all windows components manually using this article: Windows Update - Additional resources - Windows Deployment | Microsoft Docs
I followed all steps using evelated CMD. It all ran except reregistering few BITS files and the Windows Update files. Some of them threw errors and others were successful. I ignored the errors and followed the steps after it... It all ran.. Then I rebooted, and when I tried to recheck for updates, the button does not work... It flickers and says update status unknown with error code 0x80248014 in update history... (pics below)
I have also tried running windows update trouble-shooter
.
For some reason, in the history it shows the update completed but it did not in the above space...
(I don't have that build still)
I contacted MS support through chat, and gave them remote assistance, but they could not diagnose the issue as they said, "We only handle regular windows builds, not Insider. Please contact the insider forum, Thank you!"
Thus, here I am, asking for help.
I need assistance ASAP. FYI, I have also tried all the articles in google... Also deleted the sotwaredist. folder couple times to get rid of partially downloaded updates... But now I am basically STUCK.
I am also comfortable using command prompt or other consoles/registry...
The system specs and info has also been attached if needed...
Please help me asap. Thank you.
Note: Feel free to ask for other info or screenshots related to the issue.
My solution to this issue will not be helpful for you...
I actually had a backup of my old SSD with an earlier windows version...
So - I started PC using the older drive, upgraded from the earlier version to 22567, and it updated fine.
then I moved all my user files from "new drive" to "old Drive", checked I have nothing missing, and did a clone disk to the new drive.
I now have a working system...
but it took a lot of time...
I did this because nothing helped...
Hello, I think that manually fixing this is not possible - I would clean everything and install a clean installation of Windows.

Deleted I will not be able to reinstall windows as I need my files.
But firstly, the ISO for build 22543.1000 is not available as of now on the insider downloads site... The latest available is 22533.
And even when I try to download the latest available dev ISO, it just says an error has occurred
So I need to fix it manually somehow...
If I am provided with the ISO for my current build -
then, I can reinstall the build with files and settings...
I will not be able to clean install though.
And anyhow, the site is currently down for me as of now.
The FAQ page leads to nothing - We are sorry, the page you requested cannot be found (microsoft.com)
Please help! 😞Is your version of Windows (Home) or Windows Pro?
In the screenshot I see ( Home ) ? please explain this.

53 times there was a failed update - so installing 22533 will allow you to update correctly later - unfortunately the Dev version. it is not a productive version and sometimes it is necessary to remove it.
