After resetting Windows 11, it's stuck on 21H2 and won't update
After a system reset, my computer is stuck on Windows 11 21H2 and cannot receive any subsequent updates. The system prompts that important security updates are missing and suggests manually upgrading to version 22H2 or 23H2 (rather than updating directly to 24H2). I am looking for a viable upgrade solution.
