Windows 11 Update Failed, then Windows Update failed
I was just offered the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 11 in the Release Preview Channel. I gladly accepted the offer. The upgrade downloaded, then installed (seemingly 100%), and then rebooted. Wi...
It seems that on many computers there is this problem!
Cannot install Windows 11 - Error 0xc1900101 - Microsoft Community
after you install it and it downloads and reboots, it comes up as windows 10, then you should go to settings and update and select check for update, then a windows 11 build will download from the updates and install as normal. Also check to make sure that your dev tools are turned on. To do this go to settings and then find the allow remote connection from computers on my network and the allow usb connections option.

- I have not changed to the Dev Channel of Windows Insider! I was following _RBL_ 's suggestion to get dev tools turned on so I can turn on the allow usb connections option. I have always been part of the Release Preview Channel.
- I have been offered this by Windows Update. I thought that as a participant in the Release Preview Channel I would only be offered stable Windows 11 versions.
- And you've watered the attempt to repair system files? https://windowsloop.com/how-to-use-sfc-scannow-command-to-repair-fix-windows-10/#:~:text=Open%20the%20Command%20Prompt%20window.%20Type%20%E2%80%9C%20SFC,and%20run%20the%20SFC%20%2Fscannow%20command%20from%20there.
