I have been trying to update windows with the update being: "Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5022834)"
Here is a list of the following things I have tried but failed:
The only thing I was unable to do was rename the catroot2 folder and no matter what I cannot do it. I was able to stop the wuauserv, bits and trustedinstaller services but I couldn't stop the cryptsvc service so I had to terminate it using this guide here: https://tipst3r.wordpress.com/tag/cryptsvc-wont-stop/
but even after doing that I still couldn't rename the catroot2 folder and I'm really lost now. My only option would be to reset my pc but I have too much things that I want to keep and I can't put it on a 64gb flash drive so If there is no way to fix this does anyone know a service that can copy a whole drive?
I will be eternally grateful if anyone knows a fix for this!

The build version is: 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2006)
I hope this is the right file: Registry key.zip
May I know the exact version/build of your device? You can check that by running WINVER.EXE.
Also, export this registry key, zip it, and upload it to OneDrive.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Component Based Servicing
Ok here is the link to the files: 2 Items
I will still try the other option that you have listed just in case it still doesn't work
Please upload your CBS logs. Here's how to collect them:
Windows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder here.
Do you want it to be placed on the desktop instead?
Additionally, upload "c:\windows\inf\setupapi.dev.log"
--or--
Upgrade to Windows 10 22H2 by using the ISO/MCT. Your apps/data/settings will be preserved by default during the upgrade.
