Aw sheeeesh... another flawed product forced into the update requirements? Ugh... thanks for the heads up, bear bud!

Windows 11 is complicated. Some mis-steps will slip though. The good news is Microsoft make the mis-step public and helped us protect ourselves. Good for them doing the right thing after the mis-step.

*noddle* If you do hear of a fix when it is released, please do let us know.... It wants to force an update some time in the next 4 days, so I may just have to shut the computer off completely to wait it out.

You can uninstall the update

and then pause updates.
When a fix is available, I will post it.

Thanks yes :>

IIRC you can only pause for 5 weeks, and that time will run out for me in a few days, so that's why I was thinking Microsoft is forcing to me to NOT use the computer I bought until they can get their act in gear on this.

The pause time limit is an issue. Here is an idea that might work. Go into SERVICES and turn off Window's updates. I believe this is permanent until turned back on. The consequence of this is you have no updates for issues that hackers may use to compromise your computer. But if you run SFC or DISM to repair windows, the update service will be turned back on.

Here are the steps

Thank you much, I may give that a try ^v^ !

What are those? I don't recognize the acronyms.

OOPS. Forgive me for using confusing acronyms.
All computers have a drive, also known as a hard drive.
SSD = Solid State Drive. A computer hard drive that is constructed of memory chips. No moving parts. Much faster. Uses much less energy. This is the newer technology.
HDD = Hard Drive Disk. A computer hard drive constructed with motors and a magnetic disk. This is the older technology.

No, I mean SFC and DISM.

Oh, my mis-understanding.
SFC = System File Check. A windows command to check the windows core files against a master copy located on the hard drive. Will try to fix any corruption it finds.
DISM = Deployment Image Servicing and Management. A windows command that does many things. In this case it rebuilds the master copy of Windows core files on the hard drive by referencing a copy at Microsoft servers.

2025-08-30 update.
No fix yet. But this new info about SSD controllers that are effected. And how a Windows Feature update, that can not be uninstalled, creates the same problem.

BEWARE! Windows Update and SSD Problem is WAY worse than we thought! Full Demonstration

This is a great overview of current findings on this issue and why panic is not needed.
