Windows 10: Downgrade from 23H2 to a functional 22H2

...without having to reinstall the entirety of Windows 11. My Asus machine has random freezes and scheduler issues where the whole system will pause for moments at a time after installing 23H2 specifically, even neglecting keyboard input. This is not acceptable for a Pro license in a business environment. Do you need kernel level software/hardware specialists to fix your ragged CPU scheduler? Because that's all this is. FIX YOUR KERNEL. 24H2 is proof.

Cant downgrade windows 11 from 23H2 to 22H2

Hello, this is Emily.

Considering this was not an upgrade from 22H2 to 23H2, there's no official way to downgrade from Windows 11 23H2 to 22H2.

However, you may be able to perform a clean installation of Windows 22H2 by creating a bootable USB drive with the Windows 22H2 installation media. Before proceeding with the installation, make sure to back up all your important files and data, as a clean installation will erase all data on your computer.

 

Install of 23h2 on Win11 wipes out successful install of 22h2

From 22H2, you can simply install a tiny enablement package to upgrade to 23H2.

If possible, share your setup logs on OneDrive. This can help us understand why the system was downgraded to 21H2.

• Open the "C:\windows\panther\" folder.
  
• Upload "setupact.log" to OneDrive/Dropbox/WeTransfer.
  

 

Windows update show 23H2 installed winver show 22H2

Hi. Im baffled. I went back to a full os disk backup (its a full one the whole disk not just a regular backup) and when i write winver i get this (check images) and windows update tells me something else, i know i was on 23H2 but now when going back to this backup even though it backed up when i was on 23H2 it says 22H2, its obvious also when you look at the timestamp when updates where made, i have 22h2 current date updates and 23h2 update that is in the past, so i should be on 23h2 not 22h2 makes no sense.
