Unable to Upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11

Hi there,

From your case details, it appears that error 0x80070005 isn’t caused by any third-party antivirus, but rather by a permissions or policy restriction. Since your device is onboarded with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, the upgrade is likely being blocked by Endpoint security policies, file system permissions, or update components. I recommend performing an in-place upgrade using the ISO after verifying permissions and temporarily relaxing any restrictive ASR rules. If the issue persists, please review the setuperr.log file to identify the specific denied path and adjust the corresponding Defender or NTFS permissions.
