Windows 10 update Stuck at 8% for Windows 11 Upgrade
Windows update Stuck at 8% for Windows 11 Upgrade While trying to upgrade a patched Windows 10 workstation from Windows update the downloader kept stopping at 8% Since that was failing. I tried the Windows 11Installation Assistant https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11? However that interface would download and appear to get near the end of install then fail with an alert about unable to upgrade due to Windows Update. I stopped the Windows update services and same issue. I attempted to use Dell provided recovery USB Media and that was failing too. I returned to Microsoft's site and used a 16GB flash drive and used the Create Windows installation Media downloader. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11? I selected the USB option and after the download completed I ran Setup.exe from the flash drive. It then completed the upgrade and retained the Windows 10 settings and data.
