Windows 10 Version 22H2 (KB5022834) will not update

I have the same issue and have been trying to Uninstall the update since yesterday (received error that it could not install but it did install). Have a bit more experience with Windows and have tried several actions - including most of those listed in the replies to Logan_23

Unable to boot to Safe mode - have no idea why that is happening

Task Manager shows Antimalware Service Executable taking big chunk of memory. Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service under Executable cannot be ended. Have a good anti-Virus/anti-Malware program so Defender should not be running.

Opened Windows Security and Managed settings to run off all Microsoft Defender Antivirus settings - Windows turns it back on

Used msconfig unchecked anything related to Defender in the Services tab. When I click Apply the system rechecks them.

Attempting to end process or process tree for MsMpEng.exe or WinDefend gives message X The Operation could not be completed. Access is denied.

It seems more like this "fix" from MS is malware than anything of benefit to the user.

Sorry to destroy your hope here, but amd64 is the same as x64 (x86-64 (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64, and Intel 64) is a 64-bit version of the x86 instruction set, first released in 1999). Therefore the architecture is correct.

I have the same issue on one of my systems and no idea how to fix it and it is not just annoying, but unacceptable. After all I actually paid real dollars for this OS, which is now wasting my time. I used to like Microsoft products, but I'm over it. I cannot stop updates, even if I disable them. Microsoft is just ignoring this and thinks they know better what *MY* computer (I own it, I paid for it, Microsoft!) should do. After 35 years of being a software engineer I finally learned to hate Microsoft and their products. You are ignorant, incompetent, arrogant idiots!

Glad it's resolved for you.

Note for other users: If you don't want to upgrade to Windows 11 can reinstall Windows 10 using the in-place upgrade method. Your data/settings and apps will be preserved by default. The CBS issues will be fixed, and the LCU will be auto-applied during the process. Here's a walkthrough. How to perform an In-place Upgrade with Windows 10 Step-by-Step Guide - Microsoft Community

If you can't repair Windows for some reason, feel free to start a new question and upload your CBS logs there.

I tell you that this has been very frustrating. Microsoft needs to understand that there needs to be more debug in the messages.

Meanwhile I have a solution for everyone.

I upgraded to windows 11 last night and the problems have gone away.
