Windows 10: Device not updating to Windows 11, 22H2 even after installation

Hi. How can I update my device to Windows 11 22H2? Despite going through the download and installation process about 3 times already, windows specifications say I'm still with the 21H2 version. Windows update is now saying that 22H2 is available to download again. I've also tried the installation assistant, with the same results. Thanks.

Cannot update Windows 11 to build 22h2

Need more help than support web site offers. I would like to update a Windows Pro 21h2 to 22h2.

I've tried every suggestion at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows - Microsoft Support short of "Perfrom a clean installation of Windows 11." That list is comprehensive and includes everything I would have thought of on my own and then some. None of the troubleshooting suggestions solved the problem. The system in question is a Lenovo ThinkCentre M90n desktop running Windows 11 Pro Version 21H2.

In addition to all the steps at the above link, I've also tried installing by using Windows 11 Installation Assistant. Installation Assistant downloads and goes through the long installation process. But then very shortly after the reboot starts, it says, "Undoing changes" and boots back into the old build.
