So last month I still wasn't getting 22H2 in Windows Update so I went to the local group policy editor to select the target feature update. That made 22H2 show up, it downloaded and restarted but it failed to install at the end and rolled back its changes. Now it refuses to show up again in Windows Update. I also checked and there don't seem to be any blocks on my system (RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5800X).
Steps I've tried:
1. Run sfc /scannow
2. Disconnected all external drives
3. Uninstalled Primocache and MWB
4. Ran the Windows Update Troubleshooter
5. Ran the bat file from this forum
Last resort is an in-place upgrade with the ISO but trying to avoid that if I can.

Windows Update will not offer the 22H2 feature update if it thinks your PC has failed the compatibility tests.

Open Regedit and go to:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\TargetVersionUpgradeExperinceIndicators

Here you should find a number of keys, one for each target version that has been tested. The one for 22H2 is named NI22H2 (the code name for 22H2 was Nickel). 21H2 was CO21H2 (Cobalt).

Only if the RedReason value in NI22H2 says 'none' will you be offered 22H2 in Windows Update, otherwise RedReason may list one or more incompatibilities. If so, check that none of them apply (eg. TPM turned off) then delete the NI22H2 key. Windows Update will then re-run the compatibility assessment. hopefully it will pass and you'll be offered 22H2 again.

Yup, it actually does say "None" for that value. At a loss now, perhaps I'll wait and see if it shows up this Patch Tuesday, otherwise I might do the upgrade install with the ISO but I hope that won't cause even more issues.

Clicking 'Check fr updates' may make it appear. Also, look in Windows Update > Advanced options > Optional updates in case it's hiding there.

Question, using the Windows 11 Installation Assistant or downloading and running the 22H2 ISO file is pretty much the same thing correct?

The end result is the same, but the installation assistant works more like an upgrade through Windows Update than using the ISO. The files it downloads to do the upgrade are temporary and removed after the upgrade completes. With the ISO you get to keep the ISO for possible re-use later (or again if the upgrade has problems).

The total download and time it takes should be about the same ether way. I'd recommend the ISO.

I decided to upgrade install with the ISO anyway and it went through without a hitch. Now it's downloading updates. I guess this is basically the same as getting the update the "proper" way eh?

Congratulations. Yes, you'll be getting the latest cumulative update. Then on the 14th it's Patch Tuesday and you'll get a new one along with the rest of us :wink:
