Windows 11 update failure

[Maxstar]

This is usually an issue with drivers, and which files are on the Samsung SSD 990 PRO 2TB drive and E2M2 64GB?

The 64gb drive has just files for the wife's labels I made to put on her hand made products and the 2tv Samsung drive is a brand new replacement which I copied over files from the c drive so I had a way to remember the files I wanted to reinstall when I tried the full reset of windows. I can remove the files from the A and B drive if needed

At least it's a more interesting issue lol I don't think it has updated since beginning of last year, I just left it from when I seen something about an issue with it all updating

which I copied over files from the c drive so I had a way to remember the files I wanted to reinstall when I tried the full reset of windows.

Okay, so you have a copy of all the important data. Then I would suggest to perform a clean install.

0k will do, thanks for your time and help.

You're welcome. And this is a known but frustrating issue with Windows 11 and incorrectly configured Secure Boot: Google Search

 

[COYS]

Just doing a couple of checks again before a full fresh install and diskpart is showing Disk 1(C:drive)- zero free space but there should be 308gb and also disk 0(D: drive) as zero free space but again plenty still on that.
Could this stop the update?

 

[Maxstar]

That's normal and means there's no unallocated space, please run the following commands to get the volume details.

Select disk 1
Select volume 1
Detail volume

 

[COYS]

Ah ok yep shows it there, I wasn't sure as i know if there is not enough space it can cause issues as well

 

[Maxstar]

In this case it is definitely the incorrectly configured Secure Boot settings.

 

[COYS]

ok so is that a bios thing?

 

[COYS]

or definite fresh install?

 

[Maxstar]

ok so is that a bios thing?

Yes, see the previous video I've posted. So when it's set like that and with a clean install it will resolve the issue.

 

[COYS]

I'll go through the bios again and sort it, thanks again!
