Windows 10: How do I activate Windows 11 version 23H2 when it is deactivated after recent forced...

I desperately need help about my ASUS ZenBook 14, which came with Windows 11 23H2 and fails to activate after recent updates. Initially, I was not sure about the cause, and resetting the PC made it fine; the Windows became activated automatically as it should happen. But, after the forced updates, the problem came back after about 12 hoursand the Windows became deactivated with error code 0x80004005. I tried various ways but unable to activate it. Now I am convinced that there is some glitch in the updates, but I am not sure. Please help me activate it. Thanks.

Cannot install Windows 11 23H2

The build number 22631.2506 implies the device has been upgraded to 23H2 already.

Here are the version/build numbers for Windows 11.

• 22000.xxx is 21H2
  
• 22621.xxx is 22H2
  
• 22631.xxx is 23H2
  

Your system is fully up-to-date. What else you're looking for?

//I'm going to just assume 23H2 doesn't actually exist yet and count it as vaporware.//

No, it's not.

How can I force an update to Windows 11 version 23H2

Gareth,

The rollback can occur due to many reasons. Attempt to upgrade to 22H2 or 23H2 using the ISO again. The instructions are here How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11 - Microsoft Community.

If the setup fails, start a new thread and share your setup logs for analysis.

• Open the "C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\" folder.
  
• Select the two folders, "Panther" and "Rollback" (if present).
  

• Copy the two folders to the desktop and Zip them.
  

• Upload the zip file to OneDrive/Dropbox/WeTransfer.
