I reinstalled windows 11 where I kept my files and that is what worked for me.......make sure you a backup and disk image before you try. I use macrium and it's back up works like a charm treebluedogs

    Despite the install assistant asking for admin by itself when started, starting it as admin still made the difference and brought me past the dreaded 71%.

     

    treebluedogsIf you are using a file you can right click it and choose run as administrator.

      I can also confirm that today I suffered the same issue, running the Windows 11 update 'as admin' worked to get me past the error.
