VS2022 Vs Installer Issues

Anyone know how to fix the "Something went wrong" exception error? My system recently was upgraded to Windows 11. I went to install the updates for VS2022 and the update failed. I got an error that something unexpected happened and should try to run the update again. The second attempt of the update failed:
Ran detect and repair to fix the issue and when I try to launch the 2022 instance, I closed right away. Tried running the VS Installer and and I am getting the error message from above.

I removed VS from my system with the following:
Ran the sfc /scannow

DISM:
*DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth*
`DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth*

`DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth*

removed VS folders and Registry keys:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

%programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages

%Temp%
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\17.0_XXXXXXXX

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

rebooted machine and download a new VS bootstrapper file then run it as administrator.
I have attached the logs from running the vs_bootstrapper.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
