Windows 11 Update still says PC does not meet requirements after issues fixed
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:

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