Windows not booting after 22H2 installation ?

Question

I've tried installing 22H2 using Microsoft Update Twice Now. The first time I left it overnight and woke up to the new spinning wheel. As it wouldn't boot into Windows I booted it into the Windows Recovery Environment (by pressing F11 on Power On) and removed the latest feature update (Advanced Options->Troubleshoot->Remove latest feature update) which rolled it back to 21H2 and it booted fine again. After a while I noticed that Windows Update was prompting me to install 22H2 again so thought maybe the issue had been resolved :) And let it install. Initially it seemed OK but at the end of the day I noticed another update had been sent so... Installed and Shutdown and when to bed. Next morning the laptop was still on and the new spinning wheel was going but it wasn't booting into Windows :( Tried powering on and off a few times to no avail. So have rolled back again to 22H1. Anyone else having this problem ? Any sign of a solution ?

I have a Teclast X4 running Windows 21H2 :)

Answer 1

Hi,

Two consecutive updates failed and windows could not be started, there may be a conflict between the update patch and the Windows system, we can check the installation log to find the reason for the failure.

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

I would suggest you to reset Windows update components and then try to update to 22H2 version.
