Windows 11 Pro can't update. Stuck on 21H2 (22000.434)

raszyniaczek · Jan 5, 2025

This host error just popped up again. It's been with me since I can't install the update.

I came to the conclusion that I must have installed some Insider update and it screwed up my system... so I can't go any further.

I tried to run checkdisk again but when the system boots, there is a message that it will now check the disk, and then it is skipped, and I do not press anything.

I know what it looks like because I have done it on different computers and this disk scan should be done before the system loads and the login screen, but for some reason it is skipped. Do you have any idea why it is skipped?

msconfig

System volume drive path is [K:\] - this is ISO mounted letter drive

I can try with USB Stick, maybe it can help??

Is this image suggested by another user who wanted to help is correct??

this is 22H2 build 22621.3951

Download 22H2 ISO from UUDUMP, upgrade from 21H2 using in-place upgrade method

Download ISO (yes, the Windows 11, version 22H2 (22621.3951) amd64):

Plan to boot to a Windows MCT (iso) > command prompt > type:

bcdedit | find "osdevice"

chkdsk /b /v w:
(change the letter w to the partition letter in the command result)

The type of the file system is NTFS.
Cannot lock current drive.

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another
process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be
checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

type: y

reboot as needed.

Hey, after typing "bcdedit | find "osdevice""

It only showed me drive C

So I typed: "chkdsk /b /v C:"

Unfortunately, after restarting it still skips the disk check. It says that the C drive will now be checked, but after a few seconds the system starts without scanning.

I also used: Automatically fix Windows security issues - Microsoft Support

It found one error, I'm attaching a photo.

Was the above with

a) normal boot > administrative command prompt

or

b) boot to flash drive MCT (iso) > Administrator: X:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

Okay, I understand now.

I have to run checkdisk from the command line with a USB with the Windows installation.

But I ran it from the Windows booted level.

I'm booting the USB and I'll give you the info right away.

See post #35 for the chkdsk log script.

After chkdsk and defender steps post a new V2 share link into the newest post.

Run View / Change / Remove drive letters assignment in your system
Post a share link.

Run View any installed/connected USB device on your system
Post a share link.

Something is wrong when i try to boot Windows Installer from USB. Im trying with 3 different ISOs and always got BSOD Error Kernel Security Check Failure

I dont have problems with this never before. It happend after MB bios upgrade.

glasskuter · Jan 5, 2025

If it's of any worth, I can say just last week I was able to do an inplace upgrade from 22h2 to 24h2 using the iso. I had no issues.

zbook · Jan 5, 2025

Please post a new V2

zbook · Jan 5, 2025

After posting V2 > open admin command prompt (ACP) and copy and paste:

shutdown /r /o /f /t00

When the computer reboots > safe mode > chkdsk /b /v C:

raszyniaczek · Jan 5, 2025

Ok, checkdisk works from USB ISO (bios goes to default after upgrade and i change INTEL RST to AHCI and USB ISO works now)

Next Defender and V2 log. Wait a little bit, im working on it :)

OK, disk check has been done. Unfortunately, when checking the disk using the ISO image I do not have a log.

I managed to update Windows Defender. It did not work from the system level, but I manually downloaded the update from the Microsoft website and it worked! It is from the link below.

Latest security intelligence updates for Microsoft Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware - Microsoft Security Intelligence

All unnecessary USB devices disconnected, I am attaching the log from the USB application

I am also attaching the log with disks

I am attaching V2 Log at the end

Why not run the chkdsk script?

During prior and current drive letter assignment the logs did not report K:
