[SOLVED] Cannot upgrade W10 to 22H2 or W11

[mathaius]

As the title says, everytime i try to update the version (either manually with ISO or via WU/Upgrade Assistant) the installation fails.
Each manual try takes a couple hours before failing.
When I check for updates i get an event 31 (cannot download updates) from the Windows Update Client Event Log. There are no firewalls or blocks on the network, but just in case i also tried with my phone's tethering.

Hope you fine folks can help me out of this.

Thank you for your awesome work.

Hi,

Do you have recent back-ups of this system, the Component Based Servicing hive is damaged beyond repair.

 

[mathaius]

I have backups, i'll try old restore points since i had this problem for a while.
Thanks for your assistance!

 

[Maxstar]

Okay let us know if a backup has resolved the problems, or if there are any remaining issues.

 

[mathaius]

Unfortunately the backup didn't resolve, the issue is the same.
I guess i'll have to wipe and reinstall

Hi,

Yes, a clean install is the only option left to resolve this issue.
