I have a qualifying pc which is currently showing as being version win 10 pro 21H2.

Foe the last 18 months it has repeatedly aske me to to run the update to Win 22H2. This consistently fails. However, I have been receiving security and other updates for win 10 22H2 since 16-02-2023.

Every time I try to upgrade it fails.

I have tried everything possible I can find to solve it, clearing caches, removing update history, trouble shooting etc and I am at my wits end.

If I can't get it to win 10 22H2 it wont upgrade to Win 11 which I need and I do NOT want to have to clean install Win 11 if I can help it.

Any clues please are most welcome. I have exhausted everything I can find our there and nothing works. The only thing I haven't tried as a win 10 restore .

Help.

    PS I am trying to install win 10 pro ver 22H2 so that I can then upgrade to Win 11 Pro which requires ver 22H2.

    You can upgrade from Windows 10 21H2 to Windows 11 directly.

    See the Windows 11 System Requirements page, which states: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-system-requirements-86c11283-ea52-4782-9efd-7674389a7ba3

    Your device must be running Windows 10, version 2004 or later

    Failed again but much earlier. I did remove Trusteer from all browsers installed (Edge, Chrome and Firefox) then un installed the whole trusteer package.

    It failed much quicker this time and on both attempts when it asks for a decision regarding "updates", I have said no because internet is not enabled. No connections to machine as network storage is on LAN and I had disabled the adapter.

    So not sure. New log file link below.
