PC meets the requirements and Windows update offers an upgrade option. I clicked and waited an hour, then it worked—just a minor error. Virtual Box must be uninstalled manually. I tried to move on from Apps, but it wasn’t found. It seems Oracle is the vendor, but there’s no clear reference on my PC. I think I might have missed something obvious. Please help me.

No, I didn't check the ControlPanel.

It’s best not to upgrade to the full Windows versions unless you’re using Windows 10. Most people have failed—without serious problems or performance drops—to do so. A fresh installation is advised, and it’s wise to back up important data to an external drive beforehand.

dont ever in place upgrade. that's how you break stuff. it's much pore practical to just throw out everything, install a vastly different operating system that requires skill to set up correclty, and blames the user if an update breaks something... as linux minded as i am.. the only linux machine i use on a daily basis is still pending migration back to windows, because it just simply is not reliable enough to daily drive without having to interrupt my day to drop into the terminal to fix something ridiculous.

Occasionally I believe an in-place upgrade is necessary to transform the Windows key into a Windows 11 version. I performed an in-place upgrade on my system and it functioned correctly. After a fresh installation of Windows 10, I started the upgrade process. As mentioned earlier, you might want to review the add/remove programs option in the Control Panel. If needed, you could also check the Program Files directory for Virtual Box and look for the uninstaller there.

What? It "usually" does work to upgrade from 10 to 11. That's even the default way if u have a Win10 machine and u get 11 as an update.

It doesn't make sense to upgrade to higher versions. No issues have occurred yet. The most likely problem is a driver conflict, which can usually be resolved in under five minutes. This is much quicker than reinstalling everything. If something does happen, you'll find the "Fix problems using Windows Update" option in version 11—it replaces your files with fresh ones from the ESD and works perfectly.

Not much progress yet, no file located and no clues on where it might be.

I don’t know much about Linux, but I set up a dual boot between W10/Mint in about 20 minutes. Then I spent another 30 minutes installing things like Steam and LibreOffice—even though I didn’t open the console. My W11 update ended up with some strange BSOD at startup, and it rolled back to W10. It’s really surprising that after 30 years of Windows, M$ can’t handle an upgrade properly.
