Hello I am not able to update my district image VM to v24H2. I've tried all known methods including running it from standard Windows Update, using the Installation Assistant and trying an inplace upgrade with a downloaded ISO from Microsoft. All return me to the desktop with a little window that says "Windows 11 installation has failed". I've tried troubleshooting methods such as stopping the windows update service and clearing SoftwareDistribution folder, restarting windows update service, running DISM restorehealth and SFC utilities and nothing seems to help. This poses a particular problem for me being the Image Manager and having to re-do the entire image because of this update issue would take a lot of time and effort we simply can't afford.
