Hi Walid Sarhan,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum. I understand how confusing it can be when an update keeps appearing and ends up blocking your other Windows updates, especially when everything else seems to be working fine.
From what you’re seeing, this behavior is usually related to the device being enrolled in the Windows Insider Program. The “Windows 11 Insider Preview Feature Update (repair version)” is a special type of preview update, and while it’s pending, Windows may pause other updates until the system is back in a normal update state.
To make sure I give you the most accurate guidance, could you please let me know which Windows Insider channel your device is currently on (for example: Beta, Dev, Canary, or Release Preview)? You can find this listed under Settings > System > About. Once I have that detail, I can walk you through the best next steps for your setup.
In many cases, if you no longer wish to receive Insider preview updates, unenrolling the device from the Windows Insider Program and restarting the PC will stop this repair update from appearing and allow regular updates to resume. If the update continues to show after that, a repair reinstall using the standard Windows 11 installation media (which keeps your personal files and apps) is often the most reliable way to fully reset the update state.
Since this is happening on an Insider build, I’d also recommend sharing your experience through the Feedback Hub. This helps the Windows Insider team review what’s happening and improve future updates. You can open it anytime by pressing Windows key + F, choose Report a problem, and include the Insider version you’re on along with a brief description of the issue.
Kindly let me know your Insider channel when you have a moment, and I’ll be happy to help further.
