Windows Insider update fails
So I did the clean boot, which bumped me into the login screen.
The login screen did not accept my correct password, nor it lets me enter a pin code. (I have stored my password in a password manager, so I know I'm entering the correct one)
Restart keeps booting into the clean boot.
I ended up with an unusable computer... So the result ? Not so good, I'd say... 😞
Are you connected to the internet?
Are you using any third-party tool for login?
- Windows team might not send direct feedback, but they will review all feedback report.
Internet should work but maybe you disable the service related to the network.
You may look into the list of applications and enable service related to network.
You may try performing a repair install of the Windows too. - I filed a bug report, but no feedback so far. Clean boot isn't helping, since with a clean boot I don't have Internet and can't restart the installer. Would be great, if MS could fix this problem.
- Make sure file a bug report.
In addition, try performing Clean Boot and see if the problem persists?
Have a look at:

Windows 11 Insider Preview 10.0.22622.601 (ni_release)
Install error - 0x80070001
The download works 100%. The install fails at 37%.
I have tried enabling the hidden "Administrator" account and running the update there, but it still fails. My REAL machine is running Windows 11 Pro. I have turned off "Protected folders". I have no special logion apps, no "tools", Windows Defender for AV. I have tried the update troubleshooter and it DOES discover "a" problem, but does not fix it or even offer suggestions. I have been using insider for over a year, with no problems other than the usual bugs in a pre-release (new things that aren't perfect). Very frustrated. No background apps (of my own) running.

One question a day, with one answer a day led me to a too long lead time, and I need the machine to work.
I won't be using any insider updates anymore, they, of course, expose me to this kind of risk. And, for the record, I was fully aware of that when I chose it, except for the fact that I wasn't aware at that time I was going to use this laptop for business purposes later on, how could I when it was supposed to be a personal laptop...
That part had changed in time, but I couldn't reverse the insider updates in a known way without re-installing. And I postponed and postponed, until something broke, of course.
Bound to happen at some time I guess, though I must say that by far most updates went without any problems. Superior quality overall, thumbs up. Really. I do make worse software, compared.
But the reinstallation happened, and everything works fine now, though I lack loads of tools and repositories and documents and other stuff. That will be the end of it, though.
So questions like am I using Microsoft Account or not, am I connected to the internet, any third-party tool - they indicate you want to help, but they do come too late, as far as I am concerned, in my every day life and according to my timeline. (no offense)
So in a few words: lots of advice offered, none worked, lots of good will available, close but no cigar though.
And in spite of all that goodness in this forum, I decided to step out, and reinstall.
Case closed (for me). Thx.
