Windows 11 Dev 22449 Windows Update Error

After updating to 22449.1000 Windows Update only shows "Error encountered" message and won't check for update properly. What should I do to fix it? The Windows Troubleshooter for Windows Update also do nothing. 

  • I also have the same problem after updating to build 22449, so I posted the problem on windows discussion page. They suggested me to update to Build 22454 using the ISO file.

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_update/windows-update-client-failed-to-detect-with-error/9fdfc43e-d408-4075-b17d-a73d0d255858

    It has an option to in-place upgrade the windows without deleting files and apps.

     

    Edit:

    Update - It worked, windows build updated to the latest version and windows update is working fine without had to clean install windows.

    I also have this issue,  has anyone found a fix or it?

     

     

    edit:  I found a fix for me anyway.  Set your DNS servers manually to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

     

    For whatever reason my netwrok DNS settings were not allowing me to connect to windows update service,
