Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide

To resolve the installation issue of the enablement package after reboot, follow these steps:

  1. Check for Pending Updates: Go to Settings > Windows Update and check if there are any pending updates.
  1. Ensure Enough Disk Space: Verify your system has at least 20 GB of free space. Check this in Settings > System > Storage.
  1. Reboot Your System: Restart your computer to ensure no processes are blocking the installation.

To confirm that the enablement package has been installed correctly:

  1. Go to Settings > System > About.
  2. Check the version number under the Windows specifications section. Look for an updated version that reflects the changes brought by the package.
