When will the Intel Generation 11 CPU hold on the Install of 22H2 be resolved?

I have 2 computers with the Intel 11th Generation CPU and both are in hold for installation to Windows 11 22H2. Apparently there is a driver issue with the CPU that conflicts with 22H2 and Microsoft has decided to not install until the issue is resolved. After an extensive search on the internet, I can find no information on this, certainly not on the Microsoft site and also not on the Intel site.

Does anyone have any information on this? Your replies are certainly welcome.

    If you don't have the Intel SST issue and they still put on a hold for you.

    Then there are only 2 possibilities:

    1. you got a false positive and their algorithm in determining the hold is faulty.

    or

    1. Microsoft has found some additional driver problems and they haven't got the time to publish it. That webpage I linked before has already stated that you should bookmark that page so that you can see newer issues that will be published later.

    Thanks, Joseph.

    I understand, but there's stilll no hurry as 70% of users are sticking with Windows 10 which they view as more stable with less bugs.

    There are also reviews here of Windows 11 from the top tech writers that might interest you:

    Thanks, Greg.

    I'm hoping, that whatever the reason is, that Microsoft, Intel, or Dell will find the cause of this problem quickly.

    Again, I've gone through all the literature on the problem I can find and it makes no sense to me why my computer cannot be updated.

    While I'm here if you want to save a System Image backup and Clean Install, or shrink C to Clean Install in a Dual Boot to compare, then I'll help you try to resolve any issues.
