[SOLVED] Windows 11 22H2 In-Place Upgrade Fail

[KappaDev]

Hi all,

I am having a number of issues trying to upgrade to "Windows 11, version 22H2" -- no specific KB number given as it appears in Windows Update.
I've attempted all the publicly known methods (sfc, DISM, removing SoftwareDistribution folders, Upgrade Tool, in-place upgrade, etc.), unsurprisingly, to no avail.
With this dialog every time:

Thanks for your help!

Here are my logs

Good news friends,

If anyone encounters this issue, this is how I was able to resolve it:

First thing I noticed was that the following command would fail:

DISM /Online /Get-Drivers

The error code was 87 and similarly the command:

pnputil -e

Gave me the error: Failed to enumerate driver packages, Err = 0x57

After some digging, it turned out that one of the drivers in this registry location:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\DriverDatabase\DriverPackages\

Had a strange character in the name, presumably breaking the enumeration process. Once that driver was removed and deleted from the registry, updates were back to normal :)
