Is there any error message when running those cmds?

Try an in place repair by downloading the media creation tool, double clicking on the file to run it then choose install. follow the instructions & ensure keep everything/keep apps & files is automatically selected (if not then do not proceed) & continue with installation.
Once complete you should be running 22H2, check Windows updates for any updates & install these.
