My Win 11 Ver. 21H2 Build 22000.978 laptop will not install Ver. 22H2. Apparently it has something called a "Safeguard Hold" which stops the 22H2 update from getting installed due something called a "Safeguard Hold."
There is no specific information about what a Safeguard Hold is or how to deal with it. The Microsoft pages that talk about it just say things like "The lifespan of a hold varies. Once the originating issue is resolved, the corresponding hold is lifted."
To get 22H2 installed on my desktop system I had to do an in-place update using the 22H2 ISO file. Maybe this is the way to get around the Safeguard Hold - whatever that is.
