    the download installs all the way to restart. just before completing restart it say it has to rolls back setting.

    Please upload the following files to OneDrive or GoFile.io and post the link here:

    C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setupact.log
    
    C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Rollback\setupact.log
    

    Add the files to a zip archive and upload it.

    The only solution is to fix whatever is preventing 25H2 from installing. If you can't do that, you'll have to do a clean install of 25H2. Explanation:

    1- 24H2 is not publicly available, since it's an outdated version of Windows.

    2- Even if you could get your hands on 24H2, that would be the full version of 24H2, not the customized-for-your-computer version that you would receive through Windows Update. Consequently, there's no guarantee that it would install without creating problems for you.

    3- The goal of Windows Update is for all Windows computers to be up-to-date. Even if you could install 24H2, Windows Update will try to install 25H2.

    Here is the lesson I learned after years of trying to do something else: There are no shortcuts around doing it the right way. And if a shortcut seems to succeed, it will only come back to haunt you in the future ((:-(

    Microsoft offers only 25H2 ISO files at public website. So getting 24H2 is difficult. Installing 25H2 is recommended as it shares same core system files as of 24H2.

    Hi, good day!

    Could you provide a few more details about what happens when you try to install Windows 11 25H2?

    • Does Windows Update offer 25H2, but the installation fails?
    • What error code or message do you see when it fails?
    • Does the installation begin and then roll back, or does it fail before installation starts?
    • What is your current Windows 11 version and OS build? You can check this by pressing Windows key + R to open Run, typing winver, and pressing Enter. You can take a screenshot of the resulting window and post it in your next response.
    • How much free space is available on your C: drive?

    I look forward to your update and am willing to collaborate with you until we resolve the issue. Keep me posted by clicking "Add comments" below.
