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.

    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.

    I currently have these machines affected. Updates paused for now. Strange thing, I have others, identical hardware, built by the same means, using the same media, that are working fine for these updates. Seems no rhyme or reason.

    Also to note, the customer rebooting the Z420 after it tried to install the updates over and over, seemed to corrupt the RAID1 array and required a rebuild. After the rebuild with new drives, loaded Windows 10 without upgrading from Windows 7, it installed all recent updates successfully.

    I guess the only thing we can share now is our system specifications..

    Ryzen 5800x
    32gb ram
    rtx 3090
    m.2 ssd (windows partition has about 30 gb free space)

    windows 7 ultimate port to 10 pro, through motherboard change.

    Installed drivers are from 2021/early 2022.

    I have forced updates off via group policy for now.
