Hi there, so I'm tryin' to update from v 29531.1000.rs_prerelease.262026-1841 to v 29550.1000 (rs_prerelease), every time it tries to update that at the very last restart, a screen appears sayin' "Undoing changes made to your computer..." I've tried a few times to update, but this is always the outcome. Any idea on how to fix this?

THX in advance for the help. ^^

Zoey,

They're seems to be an issue with the

Repair option, because it should be

trying to reinstall 29531 not 29550.

Two choices:

Pause updates til the next build or

Backup important files, docs, etc. and

do a clean install.

    Zoey,

    Just following up to see if a clean

    install solved your problem.

    Zoey,

    Did you already try running those Copilot instructions

    to try and fix the error you gave me?
