W11 refuses to finish the 23H2 update
Hi guys. So yeah, for the second time in 6 months, W11 makes my life extremely difficult along with my workflow. Are you familiar with any fixes about this matter? I have tried all the known ones and nothing has worked so far.

what error are you receiving? Have you tried manually downloading & then installing the KB file off of MSFTs Update Catalog? https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/home.aspx
Yes I did. None of that works sadly.
Once I am done with a project I am trying to finish today, I will provide a screenshot with the error.

and it failed
Alright I managed to update it
After a lot of patience
My next question is, shall I delete this?
I read on the net it could but I won't be able to roll back to 10.
Now, I like W11 and how they work and the visual aspect of them, so I highly doubt I will need to return to 10
There would be no support for them soon anyway
The space it holds could be a lifesaver for me
Oh it says somewhere that it will auto delete anyway
within a month or so after upgrading to 11.
So I guess it is safe to delete manually?
Ok all set, ty for the help guys as always. Feel free to close this thread 🙂
both links helped
What did you do to fix it
Originally the issue was space on C, so I had to move the stupid thing called pagefile.sys, to another disk. That got me 20GB of free space enough to continue.
Then basically windows took over. I suspect they DLed a "repair version" of the latest update. rebooted itself for quite some time and then everything was fine.
Ah it's the old "C drive is out of space" issue
Probably want to clear some stuff out from that drive regardless

:rooVV:
I remember when I had to put pagefile on another drive. Not recommended since it impacts speed quite a bit, but as a stopgap measure, it works.
