Hey everyone! I'm looking for some help. The Windows 11 update has failed on my device twice, and now I can't seem to get it back in the Settings under Windows Update. I think I've figured out the issue that caused the failures, but I need a quick fix to make it show up again. Any suggestions? Thanks a lot!

You could pause and resume the updates in Settings; sometimes that helps refresh the update process.
If you've used the built-in reinstall feature already, consider doing an in-place upgrade using the Windows Update. It's a bit more involved, but it might reinstall your current version and resolve your update issues. Here’s a helpful link: [Reinstall Current Windows Version](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-issues-by-reinstalling-the-current-version-of-windows-497ac6da-7cac-4641-82a5-f50398d879a0).
That sounds a bit more complicated than I wanted, though.
Have you tried using the Windows Upgrade Assistant? It's a straightforward method to get things rolling again!
Yeah, doing an in-place upgrade with the Upgrade Assistant usually does the trick.
But what if I can't physically access the device?
Unfortunately, that hasn’t worked for me in the past.
