MS MCT ISO 22621.382, fails to upgrade from 22000.1042

After all this testing, did you ever see a log or anything else that told you exactly why the system is being blocked? I have not seen that message on any of my systems, although I do have one which has not yet been offered the update and no message as to not being capable.

When you did the second upgrade, did you start with a clean drive or could something been left on the system from the previous install?

The online upgrade does download packages for both the .382 and .521 versions, so being offline may not be the best way to go. It appears the in-place upgrade does not download the .521 update package, but I get that from your and other's comments.

One change might be, that the problems with the .521 update, Microsoft may have taken some steps to wait until that situation has been worked out. If I haven't seen the upgrade offered to my second machine by next Tuesday, I will try the .iso upgrade path.

A hardware block for a Windows upgrade does not automatically mean that it has to be the computer itself.

Like in this example:

The Upgrade block was activated by Microsoft on 09/22/2022.

This does not mean that you have to have the same block on your device.

There are currently other causes blocking the upgrade too.

The reasons for a blockage must be determined on each computer itself, so one cannot say in general that, for example, a printer with an IPP class driver is always the cause.

4 computers were upgrading fine on Sept 21, now 2 days later they can no longer do the same upgrade from 21H2 to 22H2 using the same MS ISO file and get that stupid message.

Yet I can work around the block if I disconnect from the network. 🤣🤣

It doesn't make any sense. 🤐

Then I've done everything I can do about this. Actually more, since no one else would have taken the time to explain it as fully as I did for you.

Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.

Greg,

I've already reported the problem on FBH.

Thanks anyway.
