I've recently been getting WerFault.exe errors and when I searched how to fix that, people suggested to fix the problem using Windows Update. I went into System > Recovery and hovered over to the "Fix problems using windows update" option and clicked "Reinstall now". When I clicked it, it looked like it started to install but unfortunately it didn't. An error came up saying "Repair Version of Windows not found, please try again later". So I've tried to search for a solution to see if anyone knew how to fix this. Sadly, I didn't find anyone with my problem.
Not so long ago, I bought a new acer laptop with Windows 11 Home installed. I switched the storage and reinstalled Windows 11 with a USB flash drive using the Windows 11 Installation Media. I don't know if back then with Windows 11 installed on the original SSD storage had the Repair Version of Windows or not, but on this new Windows 11 copy, it did not come included. I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I included this information just in case.
If you haven't known already, I have Windows 11 Home installed on an Acer Nitro V 15.6" Gaming Laptop 144Hz i5-13420H RTX 4050 8GB RAM 512GB SSD now a 1TB SSD. If anyone knows how to fix this, please help a brother out!

The best option is to perform an in-place repair with the Windows 11 ISO.
Please follow the steps, this is then not like re-installing Windows, it is just like an update and your personal files, settings and installed software will not be affected.
Click this link:

to download the Windows 11 ISO
When the ISO file completes downloading
Disconnect from the Internet
Disconnect all external devices with the exception of a mouse or keyboard.
Temporarily disable any 3rd party Anti-virus you may have installed
Then, in Windows File Explorer, double click the ISO and then run Setup.exe and select the Install option.
