[SOLVED] Win10 - refuses to update to 22H2

[dsalch]

Another interesting data point. When I was reanabling devices in bios, I noticed that the minitool backup boot menu was still active. So I popped in and found a very old version of their software. It refused to update itself for some invisible reason. I turned off the boot menu co pletely now.

But also found in partition manager that there appears to be 2 or maybe 3 recovery partitions in various stages. Might be best to remove all that and start fresh?

well, at this point, nothing worked. Still died at the same point, apparently after updates applied. I tried ti with everything turned off in bios and with it all back on, no difference. It's gettung MUCH further than ever before, but still no success to finish.

this seems odd

Hi,

The partitions looks good, and the unallocated space we can ignore. Please run the ComponentsScanner again and report the result.

This seems odd, it says I am still in the windows insider program.

 

[dsalch]

It appears that it is not possible to leave the insider program after this amount of time, because it requires a "revert back" to a previous version, which isn't on this machine any more .

Could you please post a screenshot of Updates & Security > Windows Insider Program, I wonder if it still show the message "your device is set up to get insider preview builds".

Please run the following commands as well and copy and paste the result.

sc query wisvc
sc qc wisvc

 

[dsalch]

I ran across this script, decided to give it a try to turn off insider previews. It worked!

Component scanner running now

The warnings are all related to one of the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages and can be ignored. I would suggest to try to update again.

 

[dsalch]

This is interesting. I did the normal windows update, and this time it decided to go straight to 22h2 instead of 21h1. Must have something to do with the insider program?

 

[Maxstar]

Maybe, what is the result of the following command:

reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\Upgrade

 

[dsalch]

Ok well... Windows update said "this update can not be downloaded because it is not ready for your device"

I'll try media creation tool now

 

[Maxstar]

Could you please provide the following registry export first? Zip setup.hiv and attach it to your next post.

reg save "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup" "%userprofile%\Desktop\Setup.hiv"
