Windows 10: My laptop gets a Kmode exception error caused by windows 11 22h2 update, why may this be?

My laptop which is only a year old and had Windows 11 already installed is trying to do the windows 11 22h2 update. It keeps getting to about 8% then blue screen of death occurs with the error "kmode_exception_not_handled" what can be the cause of this? All of my drivers are up to date, I've disconnected external devices, I've cleared the windows update cache and it is still doing this, please help.

KMODE EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED

I had done essentially the same thing with my PC, which is also a new HP computer, but this did not solve the problem. Here's more history:

I first started and setup the PC on 4/1/20, and disabled use of McAfee software. I did not have any problems with the machine until 5/8/20, when it started having Kmode exceptions which became so frequent that Windows said I had to reset the PC's Windows
installation. I tried a partial reset that kept my data files, but the PC still had the Kmode exceptions, so I did a complete reset of the PC on 5/8/20. I again removed McAfee software, and continued using the PC. The PC ran without problems until 5/18/20,
when it starting having Kmode exceptions again. The Kmode exceptions again became so frequent that Windows said I needed to reset the PC.

So, I reset the PC on 5/19/20 and again removed McAfee software from the control panel. I discovered that I could cause the Kmode exceptions to happen at will, just by trying to perform a Windows system update, after Windows had installed all the above updates
that I described in my initial post yesterday.

I think others may have the same problem. You can easily test it, by trying to perform a Windows system update using the following menus and selections:

control panel

system and security

security and maintenance

maintenance

start maintenance

I suspect that after Windows installs KB4052623, it then has a problem trying to install KB2267602 that causes a Kmode exception. This might happen for other PC's, whenever they get to a point in their update cycle that causes them to try these updates.
The latest version of KB4052623 was released on 4/30/20, about a week before my PC started having Kmode exception crashes.
