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.

Well, I already have the media creation tool and as long as I can roll it back, I think I'll try it. I have 7 computers and only the Optiplex 3891 and the Acer Nitro 5 do not have 22H2 installed, so I think I'll start by generating a System Restore Point and then installing. That may make the rollback not necessary ... but the rollback will still be there in case it is needed.
Thanks Greg. Aren't Computers fun!
Yes, I am referring to the Feature Update 22H2 which is technically an Upgrade install that can be done best by using the latest bootable media which is always the latest version. This avoids Windows Update and Installation Assistant gating and bugs.
You do not need to wait for Windows Update. As was already explained in one tutorial you should be able to manually Upgrade to Windows 11 by downloading the ISO from Media Creation Tool, double click to mount it, and right click Setup to Run as Administrator. This is explained more on the Download page ISO Download section by clicking the link Before you Start: https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-downlo...
Normally the ISO won't bee gated like Windows Update or Installation Assistant. It is also a better install.
Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.
Hi RC. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.
What is telling you this is gated if you can't find confirmation? Have you run the PC Health Check which developers tell us is the final word on compatibility? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows...
This is what I find that might be helpful on this:
