Windows 11 Update still says PC does not meet requirements after issues fixed
Windows 11 update told the PC does not meet the requirements (TSM and EUFI).
After fixing this issues in the BIOS and running the health check, it is all ok.
When I open Settings -> Update & Security, there is still a red cross.
Reboot didn't help.
Looks to me a bug in the Windows Update that some flag is not cleared after fixing the issues.

If you don't want to wait for the update you can download windows 11 from Microsoft website. It is free and will hardly take 1hr to complete its setup. You'll also require fast speed internet as it will need around 4GB internet to download all files. This is the link from where you can download : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11
As you get This PC meets Windows 11 requirements with PC Health Check app, then you can try manual upgrade:

Or you can also use Windows 11 Installation Assistant which you can download from here:

*This reply was updated to make sure it is valid.- Rene_BalvertCopper ContributorThe health check reported all ok.
Windows update report the requirements doesn't meet.
But this morning Windows update showed the W11 update which means all ok, so the message was incorrect and blocked me from updating to W11 after fixing the issues.- Frans73Copper Contributor

Rene_Balvert Hi, on my end it now automagically is corrected so it seems to be a matter of waiting, just like @Andrez1 mentioned in his post. The (sorry for the Dutch) message now says I have to wait until Windows 11 is rolled out for me.

Still see this error after enabling TPM 2.0 in BIOS.
Also, error I am getting is "The processor isn't currently supported in Windows 11."
And the processor is compatible: Intel Core i7-6770HQ CPU @2.60GHz.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated, thanks
- critchyCopper ContributorOnly thing I could think of on that would be have you updated your bios to the newest one and I’m sure you’ve covered that.

For anyone who has corrected their device compatibility but still gets this error in the Windows Update menu, you can get around this by manually downloading and installing the Windows 11 update found here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11?ranMID=24542&ranEAID=nOD/rLJHOac&ranSiteID=nOD_rLJHOac-yEc1wPu4x1.vd6c.9zaiTg&epi=nOD_rLJHOac-yEc1wPu4x1.vd6c.9zaiTg&irgwc=1&irclickid=_cfch6th2q0kf6zfwjvzgsp2lp22xrcjp2hvm11gj00
Download the 'Windows 11 Installation Assistant' from that site. Note that you will want to run it as administrator though or you may encounter additional errors. Go to your 'Downloads' folder and right-click the file (Windows11InstallationAssistant.exe) and select 'Run as administrator'. You should now be able to successfully upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11; assuming you qualify and are compatible.- kgschlosserCopper Contributor
Funny because I have the same issue,
32 core AMD Threadripper 64GB of memory 8TB of storage and an Nvidia GTX 1050Ti video card. All well beyond what is needed to run Windows 11 yet it says that my computer doesn't meet the minimums.

Try using the install directly from Microsoft's website.
The thread above helped me find this. Seems to be an issue with 'Windows Update'

- brownt898Copper ContributorThank you, I cannot believe that I had to search all the way down in a thread like this to find the solution.

No_Money_Mo_Problems Tried that, no joy. Everything in bios is correct, PC health check is good, processor on list of compatibility, but Update still has red x, with not compatible with CPU. I5-10500t is on the list. Tried installing from USB, with the reg bypass, still no luck. 🤣

Same mismatch of messages here on Oct 08, 20:27 CEST.
It shouldn't be a big task to fix this, right? Waiting for the upgrade nevertheless ...

PLEASE ANYONE KNOW THE SOLUTION REPLY..- Peter75Copper ContributorTry entering bios and enabling TPM. The board on my pc is an asrock and is only running an i3 9100. It was in the security menu on my board.
- cworth33Copper Contributor
I have the same issue.
I went into BIOS and enabled TPM.
Ran health check and everything looks good like I can update to windows 11.
I go into windows update at it still says "This PC doesn't currently meet all the system requirements for windows 11". Running "Check for updates" doesn't do anything.
It is sad I have to wait for it to fix itself. I was ready to upgrade now and have time so went the updating BIOS and everything to be ready and now I can't update unless I get an ISO.
