Windows 10: Restart to finish updating Windows 11 never completes with external booting Winodws

Hello,I have a Dell laptop, with an original Windows 11 Pro. I'm dual booting using an external USB SSD drive also with Windows 11, but Home Edition, using the DELL boot menu. I have these two separate OSs as they serve to different purposes, the internal is for work, and the external is for personal stuff. My problem started with the KB5016691 update needing to restart Windows to finish its installation. When I restart Windows, I immediately enter to the Dell boot manager and choose the external drive so it can finish the update, but this update last step never happens. The external Windows b

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.

I want to follow the suggestion. But It is that before making a decision or action I usually analyze it or ask a little more, as long as it is something new for me
:/

Before Reset the Windows Update should I take into account the results of the Windows Update Troubleshooter ? The WUT of Windows itself does not correct the problem it finds. But the other WUT shows me (after the second attempt) as "corrected" and "completed".



What I do not understand is why the WUT tells me that one of the steps is to remove the updates and re-download them (red rectangle). But when I give in "apply this correction" does not eleminate the update(Should?)




Already in the final step in the report it tells me: that it is "corrected" in the first line. In the second it indicates "completed" and the text there says that one of the steps is to remove and re-download the update (is it supposed that WUT already did it or should I do it?)
And what is that appears in the green box. Should I download it, remove it?




Sorry if maybe I have not explained well before. I think it would be much easier if the OS language were in English because translating the texts of the images is a lot.
