You're getting error 0x800f0906 because you have KB3022345 installed. Uninstall it by going to Programs and Features in Control Panel and then click the link to "View installed updates".

In the Search box top right, copy/paste (or type) KB3022345 and when it appears in the list, right click it and choose Uninstall.

See these two articles for more info on the subject: Microsoft confirms patch KB3022345 breaks SFC /scannow

    Never ending fail. DISM fails, cant find source or download, specify source .wim, .iso, online offline. tried with every setting possible, policies Microsoft assistance fails, windows update fails. Microsoft fail. Me jumping on the 'discount' to 'upgrade' to 8 = fail. No doubt windows 8 has taken years off my life on top of countless hours wasted with the issues. self-corrupting and unrepairable windows 8. But hey, since we're all suckers, we now have the ability to experience this on a tablet! Microsoft solution - waste **** load of time trying copy and paste solutions and when they fail, lose everything and reinstall , 3 -4 months later... repeat

    Hi Kevin,

    Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    This error code occurs because the computer cannot download the required files from Windows Update.

    There seems to be two files which are corrupt/not present, check if you can find the following files on your computer netprofmsvc.dll (C:\windows\system32) & wmiprvsd.dll (C:\windows\system32\wbem & c:\windows\winsxs..)

    Method 1:

    Run the System File Checker (SFC) scan. Follow these steps:

    a. Boot to the desktop view.

    b. Press Windows key + X

    c. Select command prompt (admin).

    d. Type sfc /scannow and then press ENTER:

    The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

    Method 2:

    Check if the following update is installed:

    www.support.microsoft.com/kb/2811660

    If the update is not installed then you can download and install it manually.

    Refer:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/default.aspx

    Hope this resolves the issue. If the issue persists, you can write to us and we will be glad to assist you further.

    Just wanted to add my two cents to this. Windows 8 is the biggest boondoggle that Microsoft has ever produced. (And they've created many.) I have reinstalled (clean install) Windows 8 over five times. One of their tier two techs spent three whole days remoting into my computer to clean install it twice (in addition to the aforementioned five times). Every single time, the whole Windows Update thing gets corrupted while attempting to install the myriad updates that are already out for it. Eventually, "sfc /scannow" and "dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth" both totally fail. Then, I'm told to do a complete re-install, yet again. (Windows Update is one of many things that Microsoft has never ever gotten to work, not at least since WindowsXP.) I've spent more time trying to get Windows 8 to work than I have been able to spend actually doing work on the computer. Oh, yes, the second tier two technician totally gave up after three days of working on it. He just said that he was sending me a download that he was sure would fix it, and oh by the way, he was closing the ticket.

    So much for the notion that a clean install is the salvation. It's just the beginning of a fresh set of old problems.

    Now, a colleague of mine is going down the very same road with the very same problems on a completely different computer.

    Microsoft had a pretty good operating system in WindowsXP and has been going steadily downhill ever since. Windows 8 has to be the worst ever. It seems that no one can get it to work. The funny thing is that I have another computer just across the room that has been running Ubuntu Linux for five years with absolutely no problems ever. That old clunker just keeps on working with no problems at all. Maybe there's a lesson here for all of us. (Of course, Linux does not have that abomination called a registry and does not have Windows Update.)

    If anyone figures out how to get this piece of junk to work, let me know. I've got too much invested in Windows-based software to go to a purely Linux environment yet. But all this frustration may well force me to. In the meantime, I'm seriously considering going back to Windows 7. Despite all its flaws, at least I could keep it running.
