Upgrade to Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022
Use the steps in this section for any of the following upgrade scenarios:

Upgrade either Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2022
Upgrade either Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019
Upgrade either Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2016

Before upgrade
(Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 only): Remove the System Center Endpoint Protection (SCEP) client. Windows Server now has Windows Defender built in, which replaces the SCEP client. The presence of the SCEP client can prevent an upgrade to Windows Server.

Remove the WSUS role from the server if it's installed. You may keep the SUSDB and reattach it once WSUS is reinstalled.

If you're upgrading the OS of the site server, make sure file-based replication is healthy for the site. Check all inboxes for a backlog on both sending and receiving sites. If there are lots of stuck or pending replication jobs, wait until they clear out.
On the sending site, review sender.log.
On the receiving site, review despooler log.

It says here to uninstall WSUS before upgrade, did you do that?
