Windows 10: Troubleshooting Windows 11 upgrade Driver PNP Watchdog error

Hi community, I wonder if anyone can help me. I've been trying to upgrade from an existing Windows 10 installation to Windows 11 but keep getting a PNP Watchdog Error error code: 0xc1900101. As per Windows Update Service, my laptop can run Windows 11 and is eligible for an upgrade. I've tried already a few troubleshooting options, including:uninstalling Antivirus prior to upgradingremoving any peripherals including headphones and my mouse's USB dongle.updating both, dedicated and integrated graphics driversrunning SFC and CHKDSK with no errors foundensuring all the other drivers and BIOS

Windows 10 Optiplex 3040 USFF - Error PNP DRIVER WATCHDOG infinite loop

I have Ultra Small Form Factor Dell Optiplex 3040.

There were serious issues with previous installation, so reinstalled WIndows 10 from USB I created using Microsoft Tool. Installed fine, worked good, so plugged a WIFI dongle TP-Link TL-WN422G. Unfortunately all it has are WIndows 8 drivers (however it installed fine). Regardless, the dongle worked for an hour and I've updated drivers ...

Or rather I left it to update drivers. I had to go out for a bit.

Upon return computer is locked in endless reboot loop - restart, automatic repair, error PNP DRIVER WATCHDOG, restart... Exactly same thing happens when trying to boot from installer USB again.

I explicity choose USB from Boot menu list (tried with Legacy and UEFI, same result), wait for reaction several minutes, but it goes to either PNP DRIVER ERROR or Automatic Repair. Factory reset is out of question as drive was cleaned.

There is a Data wipe option in Bios, but the drive is 500GB 2.5" spinner, so it will take tiiiiiimmme to complete. Last time i did it it took 11 hours. Thus reluctant, also don't want to use another activation on that key.

Basically the only interactive moment in the whole loop is BIOS - I can enter BIOS, can enter Boot Menu and that's about it.

First time see something like this. Can this be hardware fault? Dell Diagnostics are a PASS. But no way to break the loop. What would be the next step?
