Hi all! I want to report that with the latest Windows 11 Insider builds (Canary) I continue to see this screen. What can I do? With all other builds there is no issues. Thank you so much for your help.

I've the following CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700KF   3.40 GHz

Sorry had to mark this an answer to reply, but I am having the same issue.

One "solution" is to downgrade to a single CPU with a single core, but then the update fails to even try to install.

Found no other references, other than here where apparently 12th gen is fine:

For reference it is failing for me using an i9-14900K so if 13th and 14th gen are failing then I am amazed it is not affecting more people, I have had this issue for the last 3 canary builds. Dev is currently still fine.

In the latest Canary build (27823) they fixed this bug:

"Fixed an underlying issue which was causing some Insiders to unexpectedly get bugchecks with UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR when upgrading or clean installing the latest builds".

Yes, would have been good for them to know it was a known issues for the last 3 builds!
