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.

    Er - no.

    That (KB5017380) is the case on this laptop I am now on and was also previously on trial build of main PC

    BUT - on my log for Final new build my notes say 5017500 for that??That was commenced 2330 26/9 UK time.

    Don't want to check that live at this instant, got Pause on pending completion of the build.

    ===

    And in reply to Glezbsg re KB5017858

    I had a successful KB5017658, according to my trail build log. My typo or yours? That was my trial rebuild, no access to that disc at present.

    But it neither loaded or offered that on my current build - from the same ISO dated 16/9/22! !So maybe MS have pulled it, or it's superseded by another. I could post a list of all on my current build if anyone's interested?

    To repeat, all I have to do at present is the next optional Cumulative, 5017500, as above, I think without checking.
