BootCamp can’t install the software

When trying to install a new Windows partition, I get the error:

Can’t install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.

This is the second day that this is happening.


My specs:

MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2020 Ventura 13.5.2 (22G91)


So far I tried:

  1. MacBook Restart
  2. Router Restart
  3. Changing DNS service
  4. DNS Flush
  5. SMC Reset
  6. NVRAM Reset
  7. Different partitions sizes

if it's windows 11 then it's not supported, you may be able to install windows 10 and then update it to 11 but the driver and utilities may not work all that well, with intel being phased out and bootcamp likely being too then win11 may never get official support.
