I have an issue when I try to do an in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2022. Installation itself starts, run okay but after restarting, system reverts to older version of Windows and I got the following errors:
The final answer for me was an updated ISO. I was told by a MSFT person that this was a bug fixed in November update. I got the latest ISO (Feb 2023 at the time) and was able to do in place upgrade on all my remaining servers.
Removing or downgrading the VMware Tools has no effect. I did have success by using the Windows Server 2022 initial ISO released from Microsoft. Others have reported the same but using an ISO from 2021. I have not tested the latter.
Solution: If you have already installed VMware Tools 12.2.0, you must use an older Windows 2022 ISO to perform an upgrade. I can confirm that the initial Windows Server 2022 release ISO works for the upgrade. Others have reported success with year 2021 ISO releases.
Elsewhere, others had suggested deleting all other user profile references under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList, but I did not try this (seemed too radical). But I did try installing as the local administrator rather than as the domain account, and that made no difference, it still failed. Disabling updates was the solution.
It sounds like @Mike-2930 's answer would have worked for me too, but I ended up doing a similar-but-different thing to fix this same issue, because, unfortunately, I thought the answer at the top (which basically said "don't do upgrades") was the "accepted answer", and initially didn't scroll down and see the other more-helpful responses. For others who may encounter this issue, I hope this info helps you solve it quicker than me. Hopefully people vote up mine and/or @Mike-2930 's responses to push them above the less-helpful one that's currently "above the fold"
In my case, I had the RAS Connection Manager Administration Kit Windows component (that's what "RasCMAK" stands for) installed on our IIS Servers... so I went into Server Manager and uninstalled that component, then ran the upgrade again. The upgrade then completed successfully.
Again, @Mike-2930 's solution probably would've probably worked for me too, if I'd seen it the first time I found this thread, but my alternative solution above may be preferred for some, as it allows you to still updates as part of the upgrade process, reducing or eliminating the patching required after the upgrade completes.
I have been running into the same thing with most of my Windows Servers I have tried to upgrade. I tried just about everything else everyone mentioned. I finally tried using the original ISO form Microsoft and not the latest updated one they have. Seems to be working fine now for in place upgrade. Just have to do more windows updates afterwards.

For me, the trick was disabling the Hyper-V virtual adapter with Device Manager inside of the VM and then doing the upgrade with this ISO. Otherwise, it would always fail at the SAFE_OS issue. I've completed in-place upgrades on multiple VMs in the last couple of days this way that failed with everything else I'd tried.
I am on VMware, but tried with the older iso mentioned and with the NIC disabled in ncpa.cpl . I just confirmed that disables the device in devmgmt.msc also so sadly that doesn't look to be it for me. Going to try another NIC type maybe
That did the trick for me aswell! Just spend the last 4 hours trying with the newest ISO from MS, and uninstalled AV, debugged logfiles, ran SFC, etc.
But switching to the old ISO worked - thanks for sharing!
Once you are logged in you can go to the Downloads and Keys tab and drill down to Server 2022 Standard (Or whatever version you are trying to get), choose download, continue, and then it will give you the original ISO or the updated one.
I have got a different error 0xC1900101 - 0x20017 (A driver has caused a problem) when trying to do an in-place upgrade from Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2022 in a domain environment. Updated all device drivers to the latest still getting that error code and your method to disable NICs does the trick. Able to upgrade to Windows 2022 successfully without problem and after the restart the main NIC automatically enable back.
How did you get to know has to disable NICs to get the upgrade works? Anyway, thanks for the method.
Tried the disabling of the NIC. Still fails at same point. Progresses through the wizard, does the prechecks, the correct OS version and Keep. Just get a popup stating the installation failed. Thanks for the possible fix. What's really frustrating is I have an environment that was created from a working clone and some were upgraded and others weren't. Still scratching my head about that one.
