Windows 11 beta version updated to 22h2 cannot be updated

A few days ago, the beta version was updated to 22h2. One day, the boot screen got stuck on the login screen and I couldn't enter my password. I had no choice but to restore and uninstall the update patch. After entering the system, the system version remained 21h2 and I couldn't update it to beta 22h2 anymore. However, the update still showed that I was a beta user, and the installation record still showed that 22h2 had been installed, but it had actually been uninstalled. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

    This is a common scenario with Insider builds, especially when updates aren't cleanly applied or uninstalled. The system's update records can sometimes be inconsistent due to incomplete uninstallations or snapshot restores.
