Slightly off topic...Windows 11 on Bootcamp

I've been using OCLP for several years now, very successfully. Very happy.

Anyhow, recently, I needed access to Windows 11 for a remote gig. I learned how to install Windows 11, even though my older Lenovo Windows gaming laptop and my iMac in bootcamp are unsupported. I followed a YouTube video and it took me like 20 minutes.

But for some reason, whatever requirements the remote gig's proprietary software required, my Lenovo wouldn't pass their tests, and my Mac did.

So I've been successfully using their software in Bootcamp on Windows 11 for several weeks now.

I had even been able to install Windows 11 updates in Bootcamp with no issues.

Last week, I got a failed Windows 11 update. It said something about Windows 11, version 25H2, and that my PC failed the requirements.

What's confusing is that I already have that version installed, but I haven't been able to install any Windows 11 updates ever since.

Meanwhile, the proprietary software still worked all week, but I know it's only a matter of time because the software requires the security updates.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas of what I could do? I was thinking of reinstalling, like doing a fresh install of Windows 11, but I wonder if the iso disk that's downloadable from Microsoft's site is updated? or is it the same iso from when Windows 11 first launched, and it's the updates that bring you up-to-date?
