Windows 10: Had to reinstall Win 11, not sure if I'm getting updates

I had an issue w/my laptop and took it to a computer tech. He reinstalled Win 11 locally b/c I didn't want to give him my MS password. He said it wasn't an issue b/c I could sign into my acct. and things would be as they were when I got it home. Meanwhile, I'm not seeing any updates since I got the laptop back. I have it set up so that it should check for updates and download as soon as they're available, but so far haven't seen anything come thru. Is there a way to make sure that his local installation of Win 11 will receive updates?

Win 11 install stuck on getting ready

Currently attemtping to reinstall win 11 after my task manager windows explorer and settings all became unresponsive. After making the creation media and installing i had an update corrupt or something locking my computer up. Now after reinstalling a second time its been stuck on getting ready for 3 hours...

Specs

OS win 11

Storage samsung m.2

Mobo b650-a

Cpu amd 9 7900

 

laptop win 11 incompatible, but attempts to reinstall at every reboot.

I Know my laptop is NOT compatible with windows 11.

(I have no TPM2.0 option visible in bios)

My Processor

( Intel Core i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50Ghz)

whilst being above min. spec,

is not currently supported either.

I therefore, obviously have NO intention of attempting to upgrade to Win 11.

The machine has other ideas !

Auto-download has already downloaded, and attempted to/failed to install win 11, multiple times.

Reading various comments elsewhere, At this point I should have been presented with the option:

"Do not install windows 11" .

I have not had this option, or I would have clicked on it !

I do still however need to download windows 10 updates, at least whilst still supported.

Automatic Downloads has been manually set to "off", in registry, and saved as such.

Machine continues to ignore this, and is constantly downloading updates, regardless.

Constantly Stuck in the following loop:

"Windows was unable to update to windows 11. Reboot machine to roll back update".

If I then hit reboot, and leave it alone to restart, it then stays on the updating (With timer spinning) screen for hours.

If I hold PWR Button, to kill it. then manually reboot, it then restarts without this loop.

I shouldn't need to do this every time I want to get in !

How can I get out of this stupid loop?

which update contains the windows 11 upgrade? There is nothing in the "Uninstall an Update" list, suggesting which one it is.

Can someone offer a step by step please, which DOES NOT include the usual "Pause updates" routine, as that method has been tried, unsuccessfully.

Regards.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
