Win 11 Home 22H2 won't install KB5044285

Hi folks,
A friend has given me a desktop pc to look at.

KB5044285 won't install. It gets to the 100% install mark, and then fails.

Windows is activated, it pulled in some other updates and installed the fine tonight.

Registry has been cleaned, file has been downloaded to install off line, but still same issue.

It appears that the machine is using:

Win 11 Home
Ver 222H2
OS build 22621.1702
Experience Windows feature experience pack 1000.22641.1000.0


From what I can gather, ver 22H2 is now no longer supported by Microsoft:

If this is right, how do I get around this and install the latest ver of win 11 home with out rebuilding the machine ?

Thanks in advance

download the 22h2 iso for your needs from uupdump, mount the iso after building it and then run setup.exe:
