    In need of some help re upgrading from win11 21h2 to 22h2:
    1. mobo GA-x58a-ud7 (not eligible for win 11).
    2. upgraded from win 10 to win 11 using this tool in february 22.
    All went well, no trouble at all. Upgrades for win 11 21h2 performing well after this.
    BUT: upgrade for 22h2 will not arrive, have waited for more than a month.
    3. So I downloaded 22h2 64 bit from this site, created the "fixed" iso using this tool.
    All went well.
    4. Ran the setup from the Fixed iso, selected upgrade and keep folders and apps.
    Started the long process, but in the end after some restarts:
    "Working on updates 48 %" , then sorry.
    "Gathering info", restarts
    5. "tries to restore installation"
    6. "regretting changes"
    7. restarts, and I am back to win 11 21h2.
    8. Tried the "upgrade-fail-fix", started setup again, but same result.
    See shot attached below for error mess,

    Something I have missed or misunderstood?
    Any hint would be highly appreciated,

    regards

    AV, incompatible drivers, probably the reason WU didn't offer it already.

    It means you should try to deactivate/uninstall your antivirus before the upgrade as some AV solutions cause issues

    SOLVED !
    Thanks to excellent advise on this forum.
    How I did it:
    1. Cloned my working 21h2 hdd to a working hdd.copy, and booted the clone.
    2. Cleaned to pc with with iobit Advanced system care ultimate, then with Kerish Doctor.
    3. Uninstalled completely the AV Advanced system Care.
    4. chkdsk /f
    5. Updated all drivers with iobit Driver booster.
    6. Restart.
    7. Started the Fixed 22h2 iso.
    8. Selected NOT to install updates and drivers.

    9. "working on updates" 31 % (I HAD ticked NOT to install updates, never mind)
    10. Restart.
    11. working on updates 100 %
    12. Finished, checked with winver, says 22h2 !!!!
    Which procedure that actually did the trick, I can t say,
    But the result was fantastic !!
    B.t.w:
    A minor observation: Running the tool for creating the fixed iso, it finished
    with "Type a character for restart" . Did not respond, had to manually restart.
    Does not matter, thought I should mention it.
    Thanks again for excellent advise.
    regards

    UPDATE:
    Tried another old pc with a clean istalled win 10, upgraded to win 11 i march 22
    using the fix-kit. No problem at all, this pc not used since then.
    Now, using the fix-kit for upgrading to 22h2, I ran into the same problem as described above.
    Cannot understand why an upgrade was ok in march, but not now. Pc not used since march.
    Is it because the 22h2 is much more demanding or what ?
    Managed to get around the new problem by upgrading drivers with iobit-driver-booster.
    So it seems previous win11-versions accepted older drivers, wheras 22h2 does not ??

    19041 neither, when it was first discovered (over 1.5 years ago) we used the 15063 one, now it's not really needed anymore with the current patching method and at ISO upgrades it can be replaced by setup with the correct one.

    What do you mean by " but It never let me upgrade"?
    When running setup, choose the option to NOT search for update. You don't need a thumbdrive, mount the updated iso and execute setup.

    I did choose NOT search for update and the program did run but I got the message that it could not tell if my computer was ready for windows 11 and stopped.

    was option 1 correct?

    You need to put your win 11 iso in the source win 11 folder and then press option 2. you should be fine to go.

    The tool should make an ISO file with the source iso name and "fixed" in the end, not a folder.

    Can you show the full content of the cmd window here in code tags?

    Like this:

    ================================================================================
    
    [ 1 ] - Puts the Win 11 install.wim/esd in a Win 10 ISO (Provide a Win 10 ISO in the "Source_ISO\W10\" Folder).
    
    - This method is useful for clean installs from boot, using the standard W10 setup.
    - You have chosen to NOT copy the generic EI.CFG file.
    
    [ 2 ] This option mainly utilizes UFWS v1.4 (recommended option).
    
    - It circumvents all Win 11 minimum requirements (CPU-RAM-Disksize-TPM-Secureboot)
    - This works for clean installs and upgrade scenarios using standard setup.
    - Integrates Diskpart & Apply Image script (v1.3.1) for those who still like to use it.
    - You have chosen to NOT copy the generic EI.CFG file.
    - For when public release (all Win 7/8/10) to DEV channel release ISO upgrades fails, i've put in a cmd
      called "Upgrade_Fail_Fix.cmd", run this as admin, after rebooting you can simply run standard setup.

    Dont give up. In explorer, can you find a file named "win11...FIXED" ?
    If so, run the setup. If any error messages, take a screenshot and post it here.
