• Disable Windows Defender real-time protection or use tools like DControl to fully disable it.
• Update your graphics and chipset drivers to the latest versions.
• Avoid running the loader from cloud-synced folders like OneDrive.
• Restart your PC fully after making these changes to clear memory and driver states.

If you’ve tried all these steps and still getting the error please check if your pc has installed the newest windows security or driver update. If it has please uninstall it with the following steps:

• Go to settings > updates > updates history
• Look for recent update that shows security or driver
• Uninstall them
• Restart PC
• After that you may have to re-disable all Settings such as Vulnerable Driver Blocklist or Memory Integrity

IF IT DOES NOT LET YOU UNINSTALL THEM PLEASE DO THIS:

What I am going to tell you how to do:

• Install windows 11 before the updates are installed while keeping all your files
• Block future updates so you won’t run into the driver failure again

Steps to Perform an In-Place Upgrade Without Losing Files or Apps

Download the ISO

• Go to Microsoft’s official site:
  W11: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11
  W10: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
• Scroll to “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)”
• Select your edition and download.

Mount the ISO

• Right-click the ISO and select “Mount”
• Open the mounted drive and double-click setup.exe

Once the set up is open itll have a check box at the bottom left saying “I want to make the installation better” or something similar.

• Uncheck that.
• Then above that it will ask you how you want to handle windows updates in blue letters towards the top. Click that and choose Not Right Now or some shit.

Start the Installation

When prompted, choose:

• Keep personal files and apps
• Let it install and once you’re back to the desktop turn off all your Anti-Virus settings again
• Download and run Sordum make sure to click “disable updates” and then press the button on the sordum application: https://www.sordum.org/downloads/?st-windows-update-blocker

Then you just have to redo the simple setup steps all over again for your product!
