Windows Installer Issues! Can´t Install Programs on Windows 11.

Did you see my warning under the WIndows Club link in my last post to avoid Restoro which is a PUP? If you'd miss that I wonder what else was missed. Absolute thoroughness is required in these issues, skipping nothing and asking back if you need any help to complete a step. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step, so please do not skip any. If you need help performing any step I will help.

I would uninstall Restoro ASAP and run System File Checker/DISM in WIndows 11:

If that doesn't fix it then you can do a Windows 11 Repair Upgrade which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/repair-install-wi...

 

Annoying This PC can´t run Windows 11 message

Hi folks
I´ve got an older laptop here I´m using which I KNOW won´t run W11 and don´t want to even attempt to run it on as the default OS -- and W10 will still be current for a few years yet so why on earth every time I go to update W10 I get that stupid message





Surely there ought to be a user selectible option --> check if PC is able to run W11 or similar.

Does it mean now we will have to see this message for ever on older computers that have no intention of having W11 installed on them. !!!

(That said though I've installed W11 as a test via boot from VHDX physical disk note NOT a VM and using Dism /apply-image from a W11 iso downloaded from UUPDUMP and it does install and work on this same machine BTW -- but that's another issue -- I should be able to bootW10 and update normally without the annoying message).

Cheers
jimbo

 

Windows 11??

John,
If you're not trying to install Window 11 right now, look at, but don't do any of the workaround steps. Just letting you know so you're not tempted or confused and try any of them on your main PCs *Smile

If you have extra test PCs, then let me know how you like Windows 11 if you decide to try it with the workarounds.
