Strange, could you please try to update to Windows 10 22H2 using the following tool.

Download the

Windows 10 Update Assistant to your desktop.

• Right-click on Windows10Upgrade9252.exe and select the option: Run as administrator.
• Press the Update now button, click after the compatibility check on Next.
• The Update Assistant will now download the latest Feature Update.
• After verifying the download, the Feature Update will be installed.
• When this process is ready, click on the Restart now button to complete the installation.

Download the

Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your Desktop:

Download the 64 bit version: - Farbar Recovery Scan Tool Link

• Note: Your antivirus program may report FRST incorrectly as an infection. If so, disable the real-time protection when downloading and running FRST.
• Right-click to run the tool as administrator. When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Note: Ensure that the Addition.txt check box is checked at the bottom of the form within the Optional Scan area.
• Press the Scan button.
• Please wait for the tool to finish. It will produce two logfiles called FRST.txt and Addition.txt in the same directory the tool is run from (which should be the desktop)
• Post the logfiles FRST.txt and Addition.txt as attachment in your next reply.

It seems this is a client system of a company, do I have that right or is it a system for personal use?

It is a personal system only, I just attempted to update the system again and found another compromised component this time,

CBS Exec: Failed to pre-stage package: Package_1_for_KB5011050~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.1.8028, component identity: amd64_microsoft-windows-s..ck-mof-onecoreadmin_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.19041.1_none_cfb2f6ddce7358fb, file: mofinstall.dll, sandbox: \\?\C:\Windows\CbsTemp\31027561_2901956907\Windows10.0-KB5025221-x64.cab\, file format: 0 [HRESULT = 0x800f0988 - PSFX_E_INVALID_DELTA_COMBINATION]

Hi,

The Windows 10 Update Assistant is not compatible with Enterprise versions. So that's why you couldn't run it to upgrade to 22H2.

Here's the next fix.

Warning: This fix was written specifically for this system. Do not run this fix on another system.

• Save any work you have open, and close all programs.
• Download the attachment SFCFix.zip and save it to your desktop.
• Drag the SFCFix.zip file over the SFCFix.exe executable and release it.

• SFCFix will launch, let it complete.
• Once done, a file will appear on your desktop, called SFCFix.txt.
• Post the logfile (SFCFix.txt) as attachment in your next reply.

Afterwards attempt to update. If it fails attach a new copy of the CBS log(s).

Hi Max,

The update is now finished without any glitches. You really saved the day!

Thanks a million!

Hi,

You're welcome. Glad to hear the update installed without any issues this time.
I'll mark this thread as solved.
