Windows 10: Update to Windows 11 not working due to Device KDNIC and VMS_VSMP has problem. Code = 18,...

I am trying to Update from Windows 10 to Windows 11 in-place but it does not work due to Microsoft drivers having problems.I tried to uninstall the "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter" I also uninstalled Hyper-V completely in program/features. I did run DISM and sfc scan, also removed all malware etc. Further, the "Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter" =KDNIC does not show up in the device manager.Can I delete some registry keys for these drivers to disappear?setupapi.dev.log shows:>>> [Enable Device Install]>>> Section start 2025/04/20 17:04:13.833 cmd: C:\WINDOWS\s
