Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Insider Preview (10.0.22635.3646) (KB5037858) Fails

Same problem here. I have two Mac M-series machines running the same VM, and neither can complete the install of 10.0.22635.3646 (KB5037858)

I have the same problem. Reproducibly, the update process throws me out and rolls back to the last installed version. Every time requiring to type in the Bitlocker code. Afterwards it tells me that "This update couldn't be installed, but we'll try again later.", and offers to retry, which again fails.

This is how I found out I had bitlocker turned on ... So that isn't on anymore. :)
But this problem is annoying and I haven't found a work around that is fully working.

So I opened up a support ticket. I suggest everyone open up a support ticket with Parallels just so we can get this as a priority for them to fix.
 
This problem has happened before with both the Canary and Dev version. MS will maintain complete silence and suddenly there will be another update and everything will work. This seems to happen fairly often. Have you reported the problem via the MS Feedback Hub? Not that you'll get an answer, but at least you have a place to air your frustration.
 
Upgrading a non-beta (public-normal channel, not insider/etc)-- just crashes to an unrecoverable (unless you have a backup of the VM). Insider-Preview channel does however, work... Only problem, for my dev work, I use the normal public "stable" releases for ARM :-(

I just switched to release preview under the insider program rebooted and then checked for updates and ALL clear. No issues no patch that is not installing. Everything looks ok for now.
 
If you just switched to the release preview channel, there should be an update waiting for you that will then allow you to install 24H2. That is the current release in the release channel.

Microsoft released an updated version of KB5037853 today, but unfortunately the update did not fix the problem on my VM.

But I am confused - this link is for releases 22621.3672 and 22631.3672, the one that failed in the Beta Insiders this week is 22635.3646 - Insiders beta is/was on 22635.3640 (what I am on now since 3646 failed). The two releases you reference are totally different, right?

I also have this issue on Windows 11 PRO on ARM, no Insider program, just regular Windows.
Tried downloading the KB5037853 from the MSFT catalog directly: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5037853 This did not resolve the issue.
The update installs, is applied up to 30%, machine restarts and repairs windows.

Hoping it will be fixed soon...

Oh glad I didn't go remove myself from insider preview to find out that... I would have been very upset to do a whole re-install to exit windows preveiw only to find out that it is still an issue. The fact you can't exit preview without a full re-install is nuts.
 
I am having the same issue. On both 19.3.1 and 19.4. Thank God you can find your Bitlocker keys on your 365 account!
 
Yup - cumulative preview fails. No insider program, just regular windows. Automatic repair fails 3x in a row, reloading to snapshot now - but even that is now loading the preview. Will revert back again if it fails this time.
 
The update installed correctly for me in a VM under Proxmox with Intel. Me and others have noted the failure under Parallels and ARM. Is anyone experiencing the failure under Parallels with Intel?
 
After reverting to snapshot, it installed a few updates, and the last update it attempted was this cumulative update preview again. Once again, it failed, and caused an automatic repair on reboot. However - this time, at least it recognized it, and Windows uninstalled/disabled it, and allowed a full boot. In the update panel, it says that this update failed, and to try again if I choose, but it doesn't look like it will automatically install and break things. Hopefully MS realizes the issues shortly, and releases an updated file so it stops killing Macs running Parallels and Win11.
