New Update Microsoft releases Windows 11 version 25H2

[Bill K]

I've been encountering a different error, 0x80004005, for several months when trying to update from 23H2 to 24H2 or now 25H2. It seems to be pretty common since there are many videos and articles about how to get past it, but I've tried all of the potential fixes and it repeatedly fails with the same error. Seems like the only option left for me it to do a clean install.

Have you tried reinstalling your current version using Windows Update? This will retain your apps, settings, and files. Then try updating to Windows 25H2 again.

Did you try sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.

Thanks for the suggestions @Oldie1950 and @Sunqfu, I've tried both of those and many more but the update still fails with error code 0x80004005.

Updated yesterday and everything works perfectly.

I had the same error with mine and ended up doing a windows repair through update but that did take 3-4 hours (see below) which worked and didn't affect anything installed etc, just took forever to download and install even on my gaming laptop. But I would suggest try the various methods first and see if they work for you first.

Thank you ErzCrz, that what worked for me. And you're right, it did take a long time, and a manual restart (just to be sure) after it went through its process. I'm now up to date

After many attempts, finally I updated one of my Test Machines running on W11 ARM64. Keeps having driver error PNP watchdog after multiple attempts upgrading using ISO. Reset, upgrade all failed.

What worked is after a reset, I used the 25H2 Enablement Package.

So far really not going well with the last 2 updates!!! I'v had to perform 2 clean installs for the last 2 updates. If this next update fails to install Microsoft and intel might make me put my face through my laptop I'v once again did a clean install hopefully no more!

Advice for people having problems, I suggest an in place upgrade to 25H2 burning the 25H2 .iso to a USB stick using Rufus which you can get here Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way. If your having troubles updating the 25H2 .iso while updating and it gets stuck at 46% then disconnect or put your internet into airplane mode and do a offline upgrade. I had problems with the 25H2 getting stuck at 46% while upgrading due to MS bullshit. Offline mode installed/upgraded/updated fine to 25H2 & WU install correctly with no errors. 24H2 turned into a shitshow, multiple WU errors/fail to update and multiple BSODs. 25H2 fixed WU errors.

Still having problems with the latest Intel GPU drivers, new release driver just fails to install. No fix for this error. Just does not install.

I have to do a clean install every update so far it's annoying as heck! Everything is good now until Microsoft releases a new update. They have had more than enough time to fix this! I'm going to start calling these 2 comodo with the product quality these 2 companies have been producing.
