Thanks. I want to try manual updates but there are no download files for Windows 11. Would Windows 10 64 bits work?

    In any case, it is always good idea to submit a bug report using the Feedback Hub app before reset your device, so the Windows team get to know about the issue and would be able to investigate it.

        When you file a bug report, it will collect relevant log files during the feedback submission. Microsoft will use these log files to investigate the problem and fix it and also prevent it in the future.
