My issue is that whenever I am installing the Windows 11 Insider Preview Feature Update it comes up with There were some problems installing updates, but we’ll try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0xc1900101) . I've always wanted Windows 11 but it always kept on failing, Is there some way that you can give me an update where it has no fails or corrupted files to stop it from installing? Thank you.

    Hi,

    Delete this Registry Key and then Restart.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelffHost

    You have obviously joined the Insider Program

    even though your PC is not compatible for Windows 11.
