    Laptop won't update - keeps saying "something went wrong, undoing changes"


    Today I attempted to update my computer and install "2025-04 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 KB5054979" and "2025-04 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems KB5055523". Both of these failed, the laptop got to 99% complete updates and then displayed the "something went wrong - undoing changes" screen. This went back and forth for a while before my computer restarted. I tried to run the update troubleshooter but this also did not work. Please can you advise? I am really worried something is wrong with my lap

    :)

    We couldn't complete the updated, undoing changes...

    Hi,



    I suggest you to run the Windows Update troubleshooter and check if it helps.

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with Update. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Windows update.

    Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select
      Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the
      top right to Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the
      view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Windows Update troubleshooter.


    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.
