When trying to update to Windows 11 25H2, I found out I was stuck on 23H2 (by running winver) even though 24H2 showed as successful installation on 10.24.25. So, do I need to update to 24H2 1st? I had trouble trying to download it, also. Also had error 0xc1900101 on the 25H2 update. All drivers are updated. Please advise.
Where can I download 24H2 from? My windows update does not show it as available. It has the 25H2 update displayed.
Please share your setup logs to help me determine why the setup failed.
C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\ folder.Panther and Rollback (if present).GenuineTicket.xml file, if exists, in the Panther folder.Note: C:\$WINDOWS.~BT is a hidden folder. To access it, press Win + R, type C:\$WINDOWS.~BT and click OK.
I ran windows 11 installation assistant to install 25H2. Run command winver still states 23H2. Build 22631.6199. But now, the 25H2 update is no longer featured in my windows update. Now states I'm up to date. I'm puzzled.

The reason windows update shows as up to date is because the version is now out of support.
Try the option for recovery to see if it fixes any problems. It should also bring you up to date if problems are fixed.
Settings > System > Recovery > Fix problems using windows update, then select Reinstall now.
If it doesn't work then we'll need to try to find any failure logs you may have on the system.
You can go straight to version 25H2. Go to Download Windows 11 - Microsoft and select to download the Windows 11 Installation Assistant.
Didn't work. Installation failed in the second boot phase with an error during boot operation. So, I am trying to troubleshoot that, now.

Hi,
Please share a screenshot of that window.
Click 'check now' button then share a screenshot of the result.
Winver shows 23H2, health check says ready for windows 11. I have already done all of that, still unable to update beyond 23H2 regardless of windows update history showing 24H2 as successful. But it was not. Can't go directly to 25H2 either.
To update to Windows 11 version 25H2, you must first ensure that you are running Windows 11 version 24H2, as it is a prerequisite for the 25H2 enablement package. Since you mentioned that you are currently on 23H2, you will need to update to 24H2 before proceeding to 25H2.
If you are having trouble downloading the 24H2 update, you can check for updates by going to Settings > Windows Update and selecting Check for updates. If the update is available, you should see the option to download and install it.
Regarding the error code 0xc1900101, this typically indicates a driver issue during the update process. Since you mentioned that all drivers are updated, it may be worth double-checking for any additional updates or using the Windows Update Troubleshooter to resolve any underlying issues.
Once you have successfully updated to 24H2, you should then be able to proceed with the update to 25H2 without any issues.
