    Windows 10 Dell 3565 Windows 10 stuck on v1909

    My wife's Dell Inspiron 15 3565 is stuck with v1909 and no matter what I do, other than reset and upgrade via ISO, will never update to v2004 and beyond. I wish the 22H2 would go on, but she gave up trying and will not let me do it. Has anyone here conquered this problem?
