Visual Studio 2022 installation error: Couldn't install Microsoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Msi

Yesterday I tried to update VS2022 to the latest version, but update failed with error Couldn't install Microsoft.VisualStudio.MinShell.Msi. After that update failed, I couldn't start VS anymore. I then tried to delete VS2022 and reinstall it, but same error occurs and I can't install it anymore. Here is error from log:

I tried clean boot, deleted temp folder, deleted visual studio installer. I can install VS2017 and run it, but I have projects in .NET CORE 7.0, and as I know, only vs2022 support that.
I tried to send reports to Microsoft, but first of all, I can login for report once in 20 tries, get some random error. And even after I login, I can't submit report, it's says:
Sorry, we couldn't send your report, because the server connection timed out. Please retry now or sign out from Visual Studio, sign in using Visual Studio and try again
If someone get stuck like me:
Install this:

And then find any program that has in vs_minshellmsi or something similar in it's name and uninstall it. After that restart computer, and install Visual Studio.
