Hello. I recently updated my Dell XPS 15 7590 from Windows 11 to version 22H2. After 3 failed attempts where the software downloads and installs, but it did not get past the bootup screen on restart (i.e. the Dell logo in white on a black background). It automatically uninstalls the upgrade and restarts Windows. I read a forum that said try disabling the Secure Boot, which I did - and it worked! However, now if I go back into the Bios to enable the Secure Boot again, I get a blue screen with stop code: inaccessible boot device. If I disable the secure boot, everything is fine!
I'd be reasonably sure that backing up your files, then installing 22H2 from scratch, would fix the problem; however that would also require restoring the backups and reinstalling apps. For a less extreme possible solution, I would try an in-place upgrade to 22H2, by running setup.exe in the root (topmost) folder of Windows 11 install media. There's a chance it will suffer the same problem, but perhaps the mechanism is different enough to avoid it.
Build USB (or DVD) media with Microsoft's media creation tool, then mount it on the running system. Alternatively you can just download the ISO image and mount it with File Manager, but it may be advantageous to have the separate install media on hand if you need to install from scratch.
Mount the installation media and run setup.exe (it will show in File Manager as "setup" with file type "Application"). Install Windows 11 and opt to "Keep personal files and apps". Like an upgrade from Windows Update, the upgrade will back up the existing OS image so you can reverse the upgrade if necessary.
I'd suggest making sure your backups are good before trying this, and if you want to really ensure you can return to your current state, get an image backup with Macrium Reflect Free or similar utility.
Hi, I just managed to install windows 11 22h2, turned off secure boot, turned off memory integrity in core isolation. Upon install, I turned back on secure boot and worked just fine. As soon as I switched on memory integrity in Windows 11, upon restart I got the BSOD with cannot access the drive. So I guess the problem lies with the drivers affecting memory integrity in core isolation in windows. Machine is dell XPS 7590
I have the same issue as well. Disabling secure boot allowed me access back to the drive to boot. Currently it keeps rebooting with the "Your device ran into a problem and needs to restart." sideways unhappy face. Funny, I only recently updated the BIOS to the latest version. I was thinking it was that. Let's hope Dell has a fix.
My wife and I both have XPS 7590 i7 laptops. Same problem as well where we have the latest 1.19 BIOS and all other Windows 11 updates to date. Both machines showed on their Windows Update that 22H2 was available. I let it download and try to install it. Once it got to the point of restarting and showing the round DELL logo at the top and the (now solid, not dashed in appearance) circle spinner at the bottom, it gave the sideways sad face drive inaccessible error. Both then automatically uninstalled and reverted to before the attempted upgrade. I have not yet checked, but from what others have described, it sounds like secure boot and/or core isolation settings are affecting the upgrade. I've never made changes to the BIOS and would think that the upgrade process would work. It sounds like many people are running into this and DELL should post either an update to BIOS or an article to explain what settings should be changed officially.
To follow-up on my post from yesterday about trying to install the Windows 11 22H2 update on my two XPS 15 7590 systems, the only thing I had to do to get it to work was to go into Settings and search Core Isolation, then turn off Memory Integrity. I then let Windows Update download and install 22H2. It rebooted a couple of times as normal during the process and had no issues.
Thanks for your messages, michael_anderson. I'm glad you were finally able to install the 22H2 update with no issues. As you see from my original message - I was also able to install 22H2 - by disabling the Secure Boot in the Bios. However, I'd like to be able to enable the secure boot again, without running into problems. I am concerned about the vulnerability to security, privacy and malware. But, every time I enable secure boot - I get the blue screen: inaccessible boot device. This is my main concern.
I have this "Memory Integrity" Off whole time but still I get stuck at BSOD. So the solution to this problem cannot be Memory Integrity setting. It has to be Secure Boot which I have not switched off and tried installing the update.
I am running Win 11 Pro on a Dell XPS 7590 laptop. I too ran into problems updating from 21H2 to 22H2. I engaged both Windows tech support and Dell tech support, and neither seemed to be aware that there was a problem, a neither was able to solve it. One thing they recommended is that I turn off BitLocker. But that didn't then allow the 22H2 release to install. It might have helped, but I don't know.
Thanks to this conversation I tried disabling Secure Boot in the BIOS. Note that I'm running the very latest BIOS available for this device. That change did in fact allow 22H2 to install without issue. I did not touch Core Isolation - it remains on. I did the 22H2 installation using the Windows Installation Assistant which was downloaded from:
My employer has a number of PC that still run Windows 7 (let's not get into why...), it will be necessary for us to upgrade each of these PCs to Windows 10 22H2 very soon. If I reference Microsoft's "Windows 10 22H2 Supported Intel Processors" document at -us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/supported/windows-10-22h2-supported-intel-processors?source=recommendations
it does not list any of the processors I have in these PCs as supported. However, Windows Updates have been nice enough to update my PC to run Windows 10 22H2 and it has one of these processors in question (3.10 gigahertz Intel Core i5-2400). I have not experienced any issues, and this is my daily driver.
Management want to know how many of these PCs can be reused, and with none of the processors listed I am flummoxed...The old Windows 10 Advisor application doesn't appear to be available any longer from MS and the new version for Windows 11 requires it be run from Windows 10.
The real problem would be to ensure that there exist Windows 10drivers for all the components. Normally these drivers are to befound in the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.Third-party drivers are to avoided.
I have seven PCs all running Windows 10 Pro. Windows Update has updated five of them to 22H2 however two PCs are still stuck on 21H2. Oddly enough, those are two of the newer PCs (and they are both Win 11 ready).
Since the computers are Windows 11 ready, as soon as you have finished installing Windows 10 22h2 and rebooted use your preferred method to make sure Windows 11 is not offered. I would use GRC InControl.
I have a similar problem. I am running Windows 10 on a Dell desktop that is not ready for Windows 11. I am running Windows 10 21H1 (verified by WINVER). When I check for updates, Windows tells me that I am up to date. I know that support for 21H1 has a finite life. How can I force an update to 21H2? Can I use the patch solution discussed above?
I used the Windows Installation Assistant ( -download/windows11) to download 22H2. After going through the upgrade process, 22H2 started up just fine. When checking Windows Update though, it wanted to install a cumulative update for 22H2, but when clicking on Download & Install for that update, it kept failing.
Hello all, I have a 2019 16" MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura 13.1 and the latest version of Bootcamp according to Apple Software Update. Recently I noticed that when attempting to install the Windows 10 22H2 update, I keep getting an error with code 0x800f0922. According to my research this error usually comes from not having enough space on your System Recovery Partition (Closest thing to that I can see is a 300MB EFI Partition), a corrupted component of Windows update (I've ran the troubleshooter, sfc/scannow, and DISM tools to clean up any potential errors), or a connection issue like a VPN or firewall blocking communication to the update servers (ruled out by testing known good networks and the issue still happens).
If any of you have ran into this issue, let me know of any potential fix. I mainly use Bootcamp to play games when traveling. Not being able to update to the KB5012170 update is not important, but if Apple is going to support Macs that can run Bootcamp, Bootcamp should work correctly (if this is indeed the problem and not something else).
This update partly concerns the DBX boot system... which concerns security with TPM... but which according to Microsoft must not be blocking to be installed (TPM or not, the patch is able to installed) except that no, there is a bug with the update on some machines depending on the BIOS or other side updates.
After being unable to install Windows 11, now Windows 10 beginning to suffer from Microsoft's negligence, signs that mark the beginning of the end of Windows on our Macs... Now we must implement a 100% migration schedule on MacOS-intel and thus prepare the migration to Apple-silicon... and having to change professional software...
At the moment is looks like not a bootcamp or mac problem as the problem is widely spread also for native windows systems. According to this article ,133551.html it already appeared in a patch in August 2022 already and occurs now again. The article also referes to an official statement from MS: -us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-22h2#2883msgdesc. So it is quite possible that MS has to fix something first before we call out for Apple to help I guess.
Yes, but one of the possible fixes that seems to be recommended by Microsoft is a BIOS update. This can only be provided by Apple. You could still be right, it's really impossible for us end users to know for sure though.
