    Can't update windows 11/ cant update system reserved partition.


    I had followed steps to increase my reserved partition, lost the winre.wim image so i was unable to continue cmd prompts. I downloaded windows 11 on an usb and was able to copy the winre.wim image and place it in the recovery folder. I can run reagentc /enable successfully but still windows will not update with the same error. the recovery partition has 1.21gb where before it only had 900mb. I am unsure where i went wrong and not sure what else to do. I have windows 11 pro version 23h2 trying to update to 24h2.

    :)

  3. Can't update windows 11/ cant update system reserved partition.

    We couldn't update the system reserved partition - Windows 10 1803 Updates won't install

    The usual suggestion is to clean it out.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3086249/we-couldn-t-update-system-reserved-partition-error-installing-windows

    Are you implying DISM is showing a message about bootmgr? What is the message exactly? You may need to use a different DISM syntax and point to a /source:

    Otherwise it may be bogus. For a possibly related incident see

    What are the details for that?
