Windows 10 22H2, KB5016616, KB5017308, KB5017380, KB5018410, KB5019959, KB5021233 hang on reboot after install

I'm trying to update to the latest Win10 update released on 8/8/22. Ever since that update was downloaded the machine hangs

on the required reboot after the install. I have disabled updates until I can find a fix. I've tried to download the update and install

manually but get the same results. Other updates, such as .NET, download and installed fine. Once the machine hangs it has to be rebooted 

2 times to get to the automatic roll back. At least that works for now.  I've run the Update trouble shooter and it doesn't fix anything. 

Windows Update and BITS services are both set to automatic.

There is an error in the event log but I think its from the install abort from a forced shutdown.

Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0845: 2022-08 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5016616).

Update 10/5/22: KB-5017308, KB5017380, KB5018410 also FAIL in exactly the same manner as KB-5016616.  Spinning dots on the reboot and the need to do a dual boot auto recovery.  Title has been updated.

Any help would be appreciated.

For me, the following solved the Problem:

Delete the Value data (all bytes) of

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\NL$KM\CurrVal(Default)

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\NL$KM\OldVal(Default)

One reboot and CurrVal(Default) should be filled again.

If you are not domain-joined, i would not expect any problems.

I'm not giving directions on how to access and delete the value data because i want skilled people who know what they are doing to test my solution.

    Well this is interesting.  I thought there may be logs of the install somewhere to help us figure out where its hanging. I started looking with the Event Manager | Setup logs.  I was surprised to find KB-5017308 was installed properly after the reboot even though it was an automatic repair??? And the update still shows its hidden.

    What I did was to try a manual update and had to do the recovery as previously reported. Then I went to the update settings page and pressed the download button for all updates including KB-5017308. While other updates were installing and after the download, I deleted KB-5017308's installation cab file from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download. Now the update doesn't show as being required but is hidden.

    The update does not appear in Control Pannel | Programs and Features | Installed Updates | Windows

    This is from my manual try to update it that caused the reboot hang:

    Windows update "Security Update for Windows (KB5017308)" was successfully installed. (Command line: "C:\windows10.0-kb5017308-x64_2027053968a06948b45d139d95475ab4feee5654(1).msu" ")

    Windows update Security Update for Windows (KB5017308) requires a computer restart to complete the installation. (Command line: ""C:\WINDOWS\system32\wusa.exe" "C:\windows10.0-kb5017308-x64_2027053968a06948b45d139d95475ab4feee5654(1).msu" ")

    I don't know the full Windows history of the 4 units I'm dealing with right now. One looks like the factory Acer Windows 10 pro with updates. Two of the other three appear to be old windows 7 migrated to GPT/uefi and the last looks like maybe a Windows 8/8.1 to new machine with Windows 10 upgrade.

    Also 3 units are NVMe SSD and 1 is SATA SSD.
