I'm apparently not alone with Win 11 v 25H2 issues.

Can't believe the issues I and many others are having with the 25H2 update. I've tried every option I can find other than a page by page analysis of the CBS log. IS there a way to filter the log to return only Error lines? Obviously, I'm not a Windows IT guy but also not afraid of a challenge if there's an answer on the horizon. I've reached the point that the update loads and installs, then on restart increments to 30%, computer restarts and increment all the way to 100%, then 'oooops' and undoes changes. I've always tried to keep up with updates but this one has me ready to take a closer look at Linux. Started with error 0x800f0991, then progress to 0x800f0922, from there I've been circling the drain for days.

    Hi, good day!

    Make sure Windows Update, Background Intelligent Transfer services and App Readiness Service are available and running.

    Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: services.msc

    Press Enter to open Services app

    Double-click Background Intelligent Transfer Service.

    If the Startup status lists Stopped, click Start and then click OK. Make sure to set its start type to Manual. If the status is Running, right click then select Restart

    Do the same with Windows Update and App Readiness services

    Close Services console then restart your computer

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.

    To filter the CBS log for only error lines, you can use PowerShell to simplify the process. Here’s a command you can run in PowerShell:

    Get-WindowsUpdateLog | Select-String -Pattern "Error"

    This command retrieves the Windows Update log and filters it to show only lines that contain the word "Error". This should help you focus on the specific issues without having to sift through the entire log manually.

    Regarding the update issues you're experiencing with Windows 11 version 25H2, it seems you are not alone, as there are known issues related to this version. For example, updates installed via the Windows Update Standalone Installer (WUSA) might fail if installed from a shared folder containing multiple .msu files, which could potentially relate to your situation. It's recommended to save .msu files locally and install from there to avoid such issues.

    If you're still facing problems, consider checking for any updates or resolutions provided by Microsoft, as they regularly address known issues with updates.
