I did not use a third party for Windows 11, version 25H2

Update history indicates I have downloaded this update twice

The update continues to display as "available" however, the download link is grayed out and the status is frozen at "Downloading - 0%"

Very fatiguing

    Hi, good day!

    I recommend performing a repair installation via Settings or using the ISO.

    Open Settings > System > Recovery.

    Few things to check on the PC

    • Unplug all external peripherals except for the Mouse, Keyboard, and LAN cable before starting
    • Disable or uninstall any third-party Antivirus program to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade

    Under Fix problems using Windows Update, click Reinstall Now

    Once completed, your system will restart.

    Alternatively, you can use the Windows 11 ISO by following the steps in the link below.
