We are trying to upgrade our win2012R2 server to 2022 Server. But it is failing.
We are running the automation AWSEC2-CloneInstanceAndUpgradeWindows.
There it is failing at Step # 6 aws:executeAutomation. 
Inside this below steps are failing
runWindowsServerUpgrade2019	aws:runCommand
getTheErrorDetails	aws:runCommand

The error message is  :
Failed to run automation with executionId: 42eb542b-dceb-4adc-bbf4-9c2e13e5aca7 TimedOut : 
{Status=[TimedOut], Output=[No output available yet because the step is not successfully executed, No output available yet because the step is not successfully executed], ExecutionId=[42eb542b-dceb-4adc-bbf4-9c2e13e5aca7]}

Could you share what was the value that you set the 'TargetWindowVersion' parameter to when executing the Automation? Also, it might be more helpful to cut a ticket to the AWS Systems Manager Automation team with the above information and more details around the account ID, region and date/time of execution.

We have tried this upgrading from Win2012R2 to Win2022 but it does not work AWSEC2-CloneInstanceAndUpgradeWindows.
The work-around is to use AWSEC2-CloneInstanceAndUpgradeWindows to first upgrade from Win2012R2 to Win2019. Then create an instance from the AMI generated of Win2019. and upgrade this instance instance to Win2022. This has worked for us.
