Hi all,

 

I was patiently waiting for Windows 11 22H2 to reach me. Today, I got the prompt to "Download and Install". Yay. I clicked it, then almost immediately I got a failure message with an 0x8... error (didn't note it down 😞. I then clicked 'retry' nothing happened. I checked again for updates, and now WU only says that all updates are installed and I no longer get the prompt to download 22H2. Nothing in event log.

 

Short of doing the update from the installation assistant, any ideas?

 

Thanks

there is also other ways to get Windows 22H2 version

 

this example is based on selecting English (United States) as the language

 

first visited website
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

choose there
Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO)
Windows 11 multi-edition ISO
then click on the Download button


Select the product language
English (United States)

You'll need to choose the same language when you install Windows. To see what language you're currently using, go to Time and language in PC settings or Region in Control Panel.

 

after that you will then get an iso file with the name
Win11_22H2_English_x64v1.iso
which is approximately 5 gigabytes in size

 

possible that this also affects

Microsoft says the safeguard currently blocks the update on all computers using the Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver. You will not get the Windows 11 2022 Update, even if your printer works fine

 

 

if this is not company PC/laptop 

 

 

Workaround: To mitigate the safeguard and allow your Windows device to upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2, you can remove any printers using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver which you have installed. Once you have removed any affected installed printers, you should be able to upgrade to Windows 11, version 22H2. Please note, if there are no other safeguards that affect your device, it can take up to 48 hours before the upgrade to Windows 11 is offered. Restarting your device and checking for updates might help it to offer sooner. 

 

 

If you have an installed printer which only allows default settings, you can mitigate this issue by removing and reinstalling the printer

 

 

Next steps: We are working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release. Important: Currently this safeguard is on all Windows devices with printers using Microsoft IPP Class Driver or Universal Print Class Driver. We are working to target only Windows devices with printer drivers which are incorrectly only allowing default settings and will update when more information is available. 

Note We recommend that you do not attempt to manually upgrade using the Update now button or the Media Creation Tool until this issue has been resolved and the safeguard removed. 

 

 

other 

Known issues

 

 

Some installed printers might only allow default settings
Some printers might not have all their features available such as color, 2-sided printing or higher resolutions.

 

Compatibility issues with Intel Smart Sound Technology drivers and Windows 11
Windows 11 devices with the affected Intel SST driver might receive an error with a blue screen.

 

Copying files/shortcuts using Group Policy Preferences might not work as expected
Files or shortcuts might not copy or copy as zero-byte files when using Group Policy Preferences on client devices.

 

KB5012170 might fail to install and you might receive a 0x800f0922 error
Security update for Secure Boot DBX might fail to install.

Could it be related to this recent compatibility hold?

https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-confirms-even-more-printing-issues-blocks-update-to-windows-11-22h2/

 

The Microsoft post (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-22h2#2913msgdesc) in the article has more information too.

Hi guys,

 

Yep, very much possible 🙂 See below! That said, a wholly user-unfriendly experience - I was seeing a message "22H2 is coming to your device", then it "came to my device" and then instead of a "hold message" I had this completely intuitive behavior...

Tell me about it, haha. My Windows 10 device has had a Windows 11 safeguard hold for ~1 year because of some incompatible Intel SST driver (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-21h2#2746msgdesc). The device meets all other requirements for Windows 11 and even shows up as compatible on PC Health Check but the only way to find out why someone like me is not getting the update is to be tech-savvy enough to go through Microsoft's documentation about holds.

just wanted to update about this topic 

 

Apparently, the printer policy in the 2022 feature update was set wrong by default. The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) connection settings need to be set to "Asynchronous RPC over the Named-Pipe Protocol" transport protocol for the printers to be identified

Thanks 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
"TargetReleaseVersion"=dword:00000001
"ProductVersion"="Windows 11"
"TargetReleaseVersionInfo"="22H2"

 

Maybe create a reg file with this info. Use at your own risk 

 

You'll want to delete that info out of the registry if 22h2 installs. Otherwise it will stick you at that version.

Thanks! That worked. Let's see whether my printer still does though 🙂

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
