Hi,
This is an odd issue (bug) with Server 2022 versions, a large number of RTM keys are missing as well as keys for other cumulative updates. So I recommend to perform an in-place-upgrade with the server 2022 ISO. This is the most effective way to fix this server.
In-place upgrade Server 2022 with the MSDN (Retail) ISO.
- Navigate to the URL below and sign-in with your MSDN registered account.
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/subscriptions/securedownloads/
- Use the search field to find and download the correct ISO file.
- Mount the Windows Server ISO and run Setup.exe.
- Use the option Download updates, drivers, and optional features (recommended) and click Next.
- Note: If you don't want to update during the in-place upgrade, press Change how setup downloads updates and select Not right now - !!! Not recommended !!!
- When the following screen is prompted enter your (25 digit) product key. Note: Do not use the public KMS key as listed here.
- In the next screen, select the image of the installed Windows Server edition and click Next.
- Then accept the EULA. To perform a in-place upgrade, you need to check keep personal files and apps. Then click Next.
- After clicking Next, an upgrade process will start checking for updates, when this is ready click install to start the in-place upgrade.
