Windows 11 Update Failed, then Windows Update failed
It seems that on many computers there is this problem!

I wonder if in your situation after so many attempts it may be worth waiting for a stable
Windows11 version.
And these are the currently available ISO versions
The safest form of updating, however, is Update Windows - it provides a trouble-free return to the previous version of the system and does not expose you to failure.
please think about it.

- I am in the Release Preview Channel. I downloaded what I could for that channel hoping that might help get the Windows 11 upgrade (the one that Windows Update keeps offering me but failing to install). But, as you know, I wasn't able to get that one mounted.
- Which version did you download?, you have to choose either Dev or Beta, (Recommend Beta) for 11
- Yes. That is correct. I thought if I got the update I might then be able to get the Win 11 upgrade....
- Hey Ron, If im not mistaken there are 3 insider ISO, Beta Prievew and a dev, the dev and beta are Windows 11 and the preview is windows 10os with additional features
- I meant to update with the help of a tool for creating multimedia it also works for many people!
- Updates were working less than 24 hours ago, but after trying to upgrade to Windows 11 yesterday updates once again stopped working. (You reading my posts here?)
- Yes, but if you have such problems now, I would download the update for Windows10, and Update automatically after checking and without risk to the computer will install Windows11.

I'll uninstall and re-install as you suggest. If it helps I'll make a celebratory post here. (I doubt it will, since I've never had a problem with the Intel product.)

Perhaps that might be located at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?

Downloading media creation tools is also a solution idea - you can update while keeping your personal files Deleted

I regularly use the Intel® Driver & Support Assistant for my NUC. It is always updated to the latest BIOS. I just checked again, and it does have the latest BIOS. (0053 // Date: 7/7/2021.)
Please try to update the BIOS - go to the support of the computer manufacturer and download the required drivers 🙂- Unfortunately that may be the only way to go. It will be chaos if October 5 comes, the problem isn't fixed, and many more Windows 10 users than just me will have this problem....
- Because your computer is currently working fine, so
do not force optional updates, October 5 is close! - I ran sfc /scannow and the program found errors and fixed them with a reboot. I ran sfc /scannow again and conformed all was fixed.
Ran the offered upgrade to Windows 11 again and, as before, all appeared to install BUT nothing actually happened. (This is getting boring.) I then tried doing a simple update and guess what? The update failed. (I thought that was fixed.) Same old 0xc1900101 error. Retried the simple update (not the upgrade) several times - no luck, still the old error code. Just to check and see, I once again ran sfc /scannow and found no errors there. - 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.
