Windows 11 Update 22H2 Error After Installing

Anonymous

Hi There,

My PC's version is Windows 11 21H2.

For a month or so every time I try to update to the new version -22H2- I successfully update and my computer restarts.

Here comes the problem, after about 2 minutes the computer suddenly shows the "your device ran into a problem...blah blah-to see the error code check the picture below-" and I have to shut down my PC.

Once I restart it again, the same problem happens again and I literally can't use my PC as it goes round and round in circles.

I every time restore my PC to the old version -21H2- and it becomes okay after that.

But I'd like a solution as I don't think it reasonable not to be able to update.

Would appreciate any help, Thanks!

Don't know if it will help:

I already checked other posts, and I have not installed the CPUZ application.

I was able to locate this temp file, but I'm not able to delete it:

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Windows update

Hey there everyone, just in case anyone has the same problem as I had then I hope this post will help them.

Okay so the way I solved this problem was by simply resetting my computer (remove everything) and once that was finished my computer was up and working again, just make sure that you save all your files etc.

This reply in the quote below by Ramesh Srinivasan worked for me as a temporary solution, but the problem was that when I re-enabled the third party services and tasks the problem re-occured (and I didn't know which one was the culprit), so basically that's why I reset my pc.

Thanks to everyone!

This SID is responsible for S-1-5-21-329695934-4175040297-455591349-1001 creating the service.

Check if this is your SID by running "whoami /user"

Disable all third-party services using MSCONFIG.

Run this command to delete the CPU ID service.

SC.EXE DELETE CPUZ50

In Autoruns, disable all 3rd party scheduled tasks:

    Hi Dave,

    The thing is I don't have any strange programs, but I guess I will have to uninstall everything and see. What if it still doesn't work 🙂?

    Thanks

    Hi MIR_05,

    This is very strange, there is definitely some 3rd party software you have installed on your PC that is creating and using that CPUID file, the only know software is iCUE, and the only way I could see now for you to find the culprit would be to uninstall,, each 3rd party application, one at a time, until you find the software creating and using that file.

    Hi MIR_05,

    Clear the search box, then open File Explorer so you can see the CPUZ file, then click and drag the icon shown below onto the CPUZ file, that should then show you what process is using that file.
