Agreed. And if that doesn't clear it up, you might want to check your drive health with a tool like CrystalDiskInfo.

You could also try a clean install of Windows 11 from a USB drive, as the upgrade process itself might be corrupted. Hope that helps.

Same here. This happened to me. A clean install from USB was the only thing that finally fixed those CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED errors for me.

Can confirm. Yeah, a clean install is the way to go. One extra tip: make sure you disconnect any non-essential USB devices before you start the process.

Agreed, and also double-check your BIOS is up to date—that can cause weird install issues.
