[SOLVED] Unable to install Cumulative updates on the 2022 Windows Server Standard

I hope they will take a thorough look at this issue, since it's a very common issue (bug) as it seems. I have seen several identical cases and an in-place-upgrade was the only solution to get the server up and running again.

Hi,

This is an odd issue (bug) with Server 2022 versions, a large number of RTM keys are missing as well as keys for other cumulative updates. So I recommend to perform an in-place-upgrade with the server 2022 ISO. This is the most effective way to fix this server.

In-place upgrade Server 2022 with the MSDN (Retail) ISO.
  • Navigate to the URL below and sign-in with your MSDN registered account.
  • https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/
  • Use the search field to find and download the correct ISO file.
  • Mount the Windows Server ISO and run Setup.exe.
  • Use the option Download updates, drivers, and optional features (recommended) and click Next.
  • Note: If you don't want to update during the in-place upgrade, press Change how setup downloads updates and select Not right now - !!! Not recommended !!!
  • When the following screen is prompted enter your (25 digit) product key. Note: Do not use the public KMS key as listed here.

  • In the next screen, select the image of the installed Windows Server edition and click Next.
  • Then accept the EULA. To perform a in-place upgrade, you need to check keep personal files and apps. Then click Next.
  • After clicking Next, an upgrade process will start checking for updates, when this is ready click install to start the in-place upgrade.

So I have tried to lookup Server 2022 download under the MSDN link you provided but the latest server there is 2012R2. I 've tried to download one from EVAL center and mounted but then I am not getting option to run repair and keep files and settings. Is there a way to bypass this?
 
Hi,

Is this server delivered with an OEM license of Server 2022, if so you should have a DVD for this system?
 
Hi there. This was delivered with the system installed on but I don't had the DVD. I end up slipstreaming standard version to the eval and then reuse that as source to reinstall.

Thanks for your follow up.
