"Get the latest Update" should be switched on, in the Windows Update
settings, to "encourage" the W11 24H2 to come in.

This ("incontrol.exe") should show "11 24H2" if taking the limitation off
the release target. But as far as I know, these also correspond
to GPEdit policies. This is not exactly a totally independent control,
it's a convenience application that sets (or clears) three or four
registry settings.

   https://www.grc.com/incontrol.htm

Regarding the "type" of Registry settings, there have been
"wayward" settings in the past, that are no longer supposed
to have an effect, but can still be sitting in the Registry.
I do not suspect they are the cause of the problem, but
want to mention this issue for the sake of completeness.
There were things I have tried to set in the past, that
no longer did anything, and they are similar to the InControl ones.

The arrival of W11 24H2 is also gated by what are called "blockers".
For example, some particular audio device is not compatible or has
some kind of issue with 24H2, and prevents 24H2 from installing.
But those don't show "... your organization" as a label -- they
are silent blockers and there is no status readout whatsoever.
