About this tag
The osbuildissues tag on WindowsForum.com covers problems encountered during Windows OS build or upgrade processes. A recurring theme involves the error message 'Your files, apps, and settings can't be kept' when attempting to install a Windows 11 build, often due to language or region mismatches. Users report this issue even when their system is set to English but located in a different country. The tag includes troubleshooting steps for resolving such build failures, including checking update status, attempting clean installs, and addressing pending updates that fail to download. Discussions focus on practical solutions for overcoming these build obstacles.
