    If you are experiencing repeated failures when trying to download or install Windows 11, version 25H2 without any error codes, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

    1. Check for Updates: Go to "Settings" > "Windows Update" and click on "Check for updates". This may help in downloading any pending updates that could resolve the issue.
    2. Restart Your Device: Sometimes, simply restarting your device can help clear temporary issues that may be preventing the installation.
    3. Free Up Disk Space: Ensure that you have enough disk space available on your device, as insufficient space can cause installation failures.
    4. Disable Antivirus Software: Temporarily disable any third-party antivirus software, as it may interfere with the installation process.
    5. Use the Windows Update Troubleshooter: You can run the built-in troubleshooter for Windows Update by going to "Settings" > "Update & Security" > "Troubleshoot" > "Additional troubleshooters" > "Windows Update".
    6. Manual Installation: If the above steps do not work, consider downloading the Windows 11 installation media from the Microsoft website and performing a manual installation.

    If the problem persists, you may want to check the official Microsoft support page for more specific guidance or updates regarding known issues with the Windows 11, version 25H2 rollout.

    Please clarify the following:

    Look in the update history if an error code is reported.

    • Press "Windows + I" and select "Windows Update > Update history".

    If you prefer, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Also. What is the current version and "OS Build" of your Windows 11?

    • Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

    If you prefer, share a screenshot.

    Be sure to censor your email address if it appears. The Microsoft Q&A is public.
