Hello,
I am currently using Windows 11 21H2. I don’t believe that I had ever used InControl before. Is there a way that I can check to see that I have in the past? If I haven’t. How do I get version 22H2 for my windows 11 laptop? Mind you, I bought my laptop a year ago. It’s a Dell Inspiron 5510 model. It’s hardware warranty expires in a little over 2 weeks from today.
Open regedit.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate]
“TargetReleaseVersion”=dword:00000001
“ProductVersion”=”Windows 11”
“TargetReleaseVersionInfo”=”21H2” <- (change to 22H2)
Highlight “TargetReleaseVersion” then right click and choose “Modify”
Change 21H2 to 22H2
If that’s so, you may have this registry setting for W11 Home edition with 21H2 in the TRV.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate] “TargetReleaseVersion”=dword:00000001 “ProductVersion”=”Windows 11” “TargetReleaseVersionInfo”=”22H2”
Copy and paste the above into a blank notepad and save as 22H2.reg
then double click the new 22H2.reg file to change the TRV to 22H2.
Upgrade again after a reboot.
I got to this point and what do I do from here??
Microfix explained what to do above.
Desktop Asus TUF X299 Mark 1, CPU: Intel Core i7-7820X Skylake-X 8-Core 3.6 GHz, RAM: 32GB, GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti 4GB. Display: Four 27" 1080p screens 2 over 2 quad.
Thanks, but when double clicking the file I get an error message.
Do I save 22H2.reg as a .txt file or all types when saving?
Here is an updated screenshot.
Am I doing something wrong? I just don’t seem to be able change the target release version to 22H2 regardless of which method I try. Just to confirm.. I am trying to update Windows 11 21H2 to Windows 11 22H2.
I’m not expert enough in the Registry Editor to offer a reason, but it looks like your registry may be lacking the necessary items to accomplish what you need.
If possible, you may have to manually create new items under WindowsUpdate to enable the upgrade to 22H2. I’ll leave it to registry connoisseurs to provide the details, but I’m sure that the solution begins with right-clicking on WindowsUpdate in the left panel and then, in the resulting context menu, hovering the mouse pointer over “New”. What I’m not sure of is exactly what kind of item you will need at that stage to create the TargetReleaseVersionInfo item that PKCano recommended (new Key? new QWORD Value? etc.).
Good luck!
Open regedit. Navigate to WindowsUpdate (see my screenshot above). Note that Caps and spacing are important.
Highlight WindowsUpdate. Right click – choose “New” then “String value” then type in ProductVersion. Right click on ProductVersion and give it the value Windows 11.
Highlight WindowsUpdate. Right click – choose “New” then “DWORD 32” then type in TargetReleaseVersion. Right click on TargetReleaseVersion and choose “Modify” Give it the value of 1.
Highlight WindowsUpdate. Right click – choose “New” then “String value” then type in TargetReleaseVersionInfo. Right click on TargetReleaseVersionInfo and give it the value 22H2.
Your Registry should look like the diagram I posted above.
They ran successfully. However it did find errors when utilizing the sfc /scannow option and corrected them. I tried to update but it says I am up to date. I am unsure how to manually update in WUMgr. I am going to shut down and restart and try again.
I shut down and restarted and wasn’t offered 22H2.

WUmgr runs Windows Update so, if no update using WU, you won’t get updates using WUmgr.
Try to remember the blocks you have used : InControl, registry entries, 3rd party hacking tools, metered connection, …
Or maybe your PC’s hardware isn’t 22H2 compatible
The files that I was considering to restore are various PDF files of statements and whatnot and some pictures and music files. I could simply put them back in by copying those files from my desktop onto a flash drive and go about that way. But I learned that I need to contact Dell to see if my laptop has the necessary drivers to run Windows 10. If I go that route. So it’s not a total loss if I can’t restore my backup using Paragon.
