Hello, I have a PC currently running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 22621.2428 but since October 2023 I can´t install Windows update. Error 0x80070002. I have tried to repair windows and run all the troubleshooters but nothing has worked (all display some kind of error) so far. Finally, I decided to format and reinstall Windows but now the installation can not be launched because my computer is not compatible with Windows 11. I don´t get it as I have been working with Win 11 with this same computer for a while already. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks!

My computer:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE ATX AM4
DDR4 Corsair Vengeance LPX 2 x 8 Gb 3600 MHz
Asrock Radeon RX 5700 Challenger D 8G OC
990 PRO w/ Heatsink PCIe® 4.0 NVMe™ SSD 2TB

    AMD Ryzen 7 3700X is fully compatible with Windows 11. See : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-11-supported-amd-processors Look here: C:$Windows.~BT\Sources\Panther: "Setuperr.log" that only has information about the errors encountered by the Setup to narrow the source of the problem.

    Hello, Error 0x80070002 usually indicates that some files in the Windows Update are missing or corrupted. Here’s what you can do: BIOS/UEFI Update: If your PC meets all the requirements but is still not compatible, it’s possible that you may need to update your BIOS/UEFI firmware to the latest version. Visit your PC manufacturer’s website for instructions on how to do this. TPM 2.0: Ensure that TPM 2.0 is enabled in your BIOS/UEFI settings. If your PC doesn’t have a physical TPM, it might support firmware TPM which can be enabled in BIOS/UEFI settings. Secure Boot: Make sure Secure Boot is enabled in your BIOS/UEFI settings. Anyway if we want to reinstall system, I suggest back up all your data before making any major changes to your system. Best Regards, Hania Lian
