Windows 10: Windows 11 update is pending download

So I reset my computer and after it reset while setting it up it asked me if I want to update to windows 11 so I clicked yes knowing my pc is supported. But it opened up windows 10 and when I checked the update settings windows 11 was there. The issue is that it says download is pending but when I click do blood nothing happens.

:)

 

Windows authomatic downloads are all pending.

I recently had to reinstall Windows 10. Now my Windows updates all say pending but they are all pending. I have tried all the steps suggested in the community forum all except doing a clean installation. What can I do. I upgraded from Windows 8 several
years back and now I have Windows 8 and Windows 10 downloads. What can I do

 

Updates pending

I am running with windows 10.0.20231 and have pending updates for:

• Windows 10 Insider Preview 10.0.20241.1005 (rs_prerelease)
• Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Keyboard - Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard for HP Hotkey Support

For some reason the updates continue to show as pending and are not being installed. I ran the update troubleshooter and the only issue it found was:

Problem with BITS service : The requested service has already been started. System.Management.Automation.RemoteException More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 2182. System.Management.Automation.RemoteException

I'm unclear as to why this is a problem or what I need to do to resume my downloads, anyone have any suggestions on what I should do to fix this?

 

Abort pending Windows 11 upgrade download

Thanks, I've set that as a group policy.

That also led me to inspect a related group policy setting- despite having opted out of the Insider program, I found one set to enable preview builds. It's likely it's that that was allowing Win 11.

Also had to reset my group policy to defer feature upgrades for 365 days.

Also this time round I tried Windows Update Minitool- this time a scan did list Win 11, which I've hidden.

I had also tried a System Restore point created before the first attempt to download it occurred- that didn't help.

I'll now wait until the next automatic check for updates, and see what that shows, rather than checking manually ('seeker' check).
