This troubleshooting guide should fix it..

If none work, it’s likely an over-the-top installation ‘keeping your settings
and files’ from your W10 22H2 installation media.

Thank you Microfix,

generally speaking, I knew already the solutions provided by the howtoedge.com link you pointed to, but in my little experience they never delivered the least help to me.

I straightforwardly jumped instead to the over-the-top installation which I performed after downloading a fresh  Windows 10 installation media from Microsoft … and the problem has been solved – let’s omit the several tweaks that I had to manually restore.

But there is still one question mark which I’d like to submit you.

After the installation over-the-top the Windows 10 version installed is 22H2 build 19045.3803 which is the December 2023 build. Now, as I have disabled and blocked any automatic system update, I use Belarc Advisor to see what update is available for my pc and, very strangely, Belarc says that no update is missing. Also wushowhide says that there is no update to hide. I think it shouldn’t be like that, because since Decembre 2023 a lot of builds have been released and now should be missing if you have 19045.3803 installed.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot for your attention.

Manually download and install January 2025 Win10 22H2 cumulative update for your
OS taking care to verify it’s either x86 or x64 for your system.
Then download/ install the most recent .NET patch up to January 2025 for your current version from the microsoft catalog:
https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=%222025-01%22

As we are at DEFCON-1 I wouldn’t update to February 2025 until Susan gives the all clear..
