How to Fix "We couldn’t update the system reserved partition" in Windows 11

In today’s video, I’m going to show you how to fix the issue where you’re updating or installing Windows 11 and you’re presented with the message “We couldn’t update the system reserved partition”. This error message is very common, and is very easy to fix. The reason why this error message is displayed, is because Windows can’t store the boot/update files it needs in the small, hidden partition that controls your Windows startup. To fix this issue: 1. Simply go into the Window start bar, and type in “Command Prompt” and right click on the command prompt application, and click on the “Run as administrator” option. 2. Now, from command prompt, type in the following command “mountvol y: /s” and hit the enter key on your keyboard. 3. Now type in “cd /d y:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Fonts” and hit the enter key on your keyboard. 4. Now type in “del *. *” and hit enter on your keyboard. 5. Now type in “Y”, and hit enter on your keyboard. 6. Now that the unnecessary files have been deleted, close the Windows installer and re-run it. 7. And as you can see, when I re-run the installer, it no longer gets stuck on the “We couldn’t update the system reserved partition” error screen, and you’ll be able to install Windows 11 successfully. #reservedpartition #windows11 #install
