My PC Health check says that my PC is fully compatible for a Windows 11 update. But my update app says that it doesn't meet requirements.

Originally PC health Check diagnosed that I did not have TMP 2.0 activated.

I figured out how to activate my TMP in my BIOS settings and then after restarting the Health Check said that my PC is now compatible.

The Updater App still says that my PC is not compatible.

I have tried holding shift and restarting for a full shut down to reset the kernel.

Nothing changes.

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks .

    If you get This PC meets Windows 11 requirements with PC Health Check app, then you can try manual upgrade:

    Or you can also use Windows 11 Installation Assistant which you can download from here:

    The information in the PC Health Check app are the correct one and the notification in the Windows Update might be incorrect and there could be a delay due to cache and it will be fixed in the future.
    In case the PC Health Check shows your system is ready, you may upgrade to the Windows 11.
    In some case you might restart your PC and check for update or wait for a while to receive the upgrade notification.
