    Ignore prior message. Added the items, rebooted and now it is downloading 24H2. @RichardR2 you are a Genius!

    I was stuck on Windows 11 Pro 21H2, and this registry hack worked to start downloading 24H2 as soon as I clicked "Check for Updates."

    @WarrenH3, you need to right-click > New > Key to add the key "Windowsupdate".

    Then, inside that "key," add two new String Value entries and one DWORD value. The DWORD value will be "1".

    Thank you. I figured it already, applied it, and it worked. Genius!

    Worked here as well with the registry key. Now the question is... why does Microsoft not want us to "officially" get 24H2 yet? My Parallels VM was even stuck on Win11 22H2 before I manually downloaded the KB from the Windows Update catalog that forces the 23H2 update - but there is no such KB for 24H2 anymore.

    If you want to avoid typos when trying to do this, here's another method you can use to get this into the registry
    1. Open Notepad
    2. Copy and Paste the text below into Notepad
      Code:
      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
      
      [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windowsupdate]
      "TargetReleaseVersion"=dword:00000001
      "ProductVersion"="Windows 11"
      "TargetReleaseVersionInfo"="24H2"
      
    3. File > Save As
    4. Save the file on your desktop as Update.reg
    5. Go to your desktop and double click Update.reg
    6. You'll be asked if you're sure you want to import - click yes
    7. Go to Windows update, the update should be available now.
    8. To remove the registry entires, you can repeat the same procedure using the code below saved as Delete.reg
      Code:
      Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
      
      [-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Windowsupdate]

    Hi Everyone. I'm getting an install error when trying to update Win11 ARM in Parallels on my M1 Pro.
    "2024-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for arm64-based Systems (KB5044384)"
    "Install error - 0x800f081f"
    I tried the above registry edit, which didn't resolve the problem.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Quick update: after applying the registry edit AND restarting the VM, the "2024-10 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for arm64-based Systems (KB5044384)" completed successfully. Thanks @AndrewN18 for the text to copy and paste using Notepad.
