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.

    Hi Samsung Aea

    No - not a joke, but sound advice.

    As far as I can see, only 2 in this chain have "escaped" KB5016616 etc, myself & Skyscaper (by a roundabout route!). (And one other, doing a series?)

    But has anyone with a failing, "hidden" PC had a go at 22H2? Just a possibility that could sidestep the whole thing. I have not yet done that myself (on my clean install, working PC), Intend to leave that as long as possible - no need to invite trouble! But good to know if anyone has tried - whether succeed or fail. (but do a full backup first!)

    Volunteers?

    And of course you will be amazed at how much faster the same PC will be afterwards....

    And even better if you spend £50 or so on a new HDD / SSD. And you will still have your old disc to pull in anything that might be lost in the process.

    Not helpful, Samsung Aea. But I won't tag it.

    I can try that. The old sacrificial goat PC is very slow. Give me a little while...
