Continuous updates for windows 11 23H2 repair version

Question

I have had multiple updates for windows 11 version 23H2 in the past few days, naming it to be repair versions.

I would like to know why is that.

Answer 1

Microsoft often releases cumulative updates that include fixes for various issues. If there were recent problems identified, they might be pushing out multiple updates to address them quickly.

Microsoft has introduced several updates in July 2024 that address various issues and enhance the operating system.

Answer 2

If you've recently exit from Windows Insider to stop receiving preview builds, the repair version update automatically appears to take you to stable version. Once repair version is installed, you're completely switched to stable version.

Answer 3

Hello,

You can try the following steps to troubleshoot the problem of repeated system updates:

1. Windows update troubleshooting:

Open Settings > Updates and Security > Troubleshooters > Other Troubleshooters.

Select Windows Update, and then click Run Troubleshooting. This helps solve problems that may prevent Windows updates from being installed correctly.

2. Clear the Windows update cache:

• search CMD, find the command prompt, and select run in administrator mode.
• Enter the following commands in turn, and press Enter after each line is entered.

net stop bits

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptsvc

ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren %systemroot%\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\qmgr*.dat"

net start bits

net start wuauserv

net start cryptsvc

• Then restart the computer to check the update to see if the fault is eliminated.

3. Check the system file for damage:

Open a command prompt as an administrator.

Type and press Enter. This will scan and attempt to repair the corrupted system files.

sfc /scannow

If SFC finds and fixes any problems, please restart your computer and try the update again.

4. Use the DISM tool

Deploying the Image Service and Management (DISM) tool can help fix Windows corruption errors that may prevent the installation of updates:

Open a command prompt as an administrator.

Type and press Enter.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Wait for the command to complete, and then restart the computer.

Best regards

Jacen
