Let me be perfectly clear on this. This whole issue is a MICROSOFT issue not a ME issue. Microsoft broke it...it falls to MICROSOFT...not ME...to fix it. I have neither the time, nor the technical expertise to deal with this. Microsoft does. Fix it.
I need the iso for 24H2 not 25H2.
I need to repair my current win 11 24H2.
Apparently it cant be done with the current 25H2 iso.
And apparently I cant upgrade to 25H2 with a broken 24H2.
I can only find 25H2 on the official site.
Surely the only solution cant be to find 24H2 on some rando site?
Have been going around in circles with this now for days.
Note:
I only want 24H2, and only from Microsoft, not from some random third party site I have never heard of.
Update:
Seems like the consensus here, and on other threads I found, is that 24H2 can't be downloaded from Microsoft.
Which means they are forcing people to download their updates from third party websites where they have no control over what is downloaded.
And apparently that has now become the acceptable standard for getting "official" MS software.
That's insane.
No wonder people get hacked.

I recently built my PC using new-gen parts, so my hardware is as up-to-date as it gets. The amount of time and effort required for something as simple as updating a PC is mind-boggling. I spent hours trying to install the Windows 11 24H2 update, only to repeatedly hit the 0x800f0838 error. After trying every single troubleshooting step with no success, I finally had to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 11.
The upgrade process itself went smoothly, but when it came time to install the update after the upgrade, the same one that had failed before, it went from 100% complete back to 0%, before finally climbing back to 100% and completing successfully. It turned out the root cause was a missing prerequisite update, which is incredibly frustrating because I make sure to keep my PC, drivers, and updates current.
While researching this, it became clear this is not the first time users have faced similar issues. Updates with the same problem have been reported as far back as 24H2-9 through 24H2-12.
Why are users forced to spend hours troubleshooting, restarting, and ultimately resorting to something as drastic as a system reinstall just to get an update working? If an update requires a prerequisite, why isn’t it flagged or installed automatically? Microsoft, this process needs to be fixed. Updates should be seamless, not a multi-hour ordeal for users who are already doing everything they can to keep their systems up to date.
Hello, I have a HP Prodesk 400 G6 with Factory Default Win10 and Inplace Update Win11 22h2.
How to install 24h2?
It is not offered in under Settings/Windows Update.
Thx!
Any suggestions as to what could be the issue? I cannot download the Windows 11 version 24H2 or 2025-01 Cumulative Update for NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 23H2 for x64 (KB5049624).
The error is 0x800700ci.
My graphics card was also corrupted recently but the issue has been resolved (uninstalled and reinstalled).
