This error may appear for multiple reasons. Some common causes are VPN clients and an unexpected System Reserved Partition size.

Try removing any VPN Clients and attempt the update again.

You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition.

If you have tried both solutions and you still experience Error 0x800F0922 please contact Microsoft Support so that we can further investigate your issue.

    After a lot of research, everything failed before, manual install, removing symantec, DSIM tools, making more space to drive C. etc.

    This one worked for me!!

    Remove this registry keys

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers{e7ef96be-969f-414f-97d7-3ddb7b558ccc}

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT\Publishers{8c416c79-d49b-4f01-a467-e56d3aa8234c}

    I got this info from Here, hopefully works for somebody else

    If you don't use bitlocker, simply delete the System Reserved partition, as it's not needed.

    You will have to do a few things prior to doing so:

    1. Move boot files from the system reserved partition to the system partition
      1. Open admin command prompt:
        • *bcdboot C:\Windows /s C:*
        • diskpart
        • lis vol
        • select vol<System Volume>
        • act
        • lis vol
        • sel vol<System Reserved Volume>
        • inactive
        • exit
      2. Configure BCD:
        • bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device partition=C:
        • bcdedit /set {default} device partition=C:
        • bcdedit /set {default} osdevice partition=C:
      3. Before rebooting, please make sure you have either a Windows installation DVD or WinPE/WinRE cd/usb flash drive to boot from if Windows fails to boot. If Windows doesn't boot, boot from install disk or WinPE/WinRE and at the command prompt type:
        • bootrec /fixmbr
        • bootrec /fixboot
        • bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Once rebooted, move WinRE from the system reserved partition to the system partition

    1. Open admin command prompt
    2. Assign a drive letter to the recovery partition in diskpart:
      • diskpart
      • lis vol
      • sel vol<Recovery Volume>
      • assign let=R
    3. Disable WinRE**:**
      • reagentc /disable
    4. Remove WinRE from Reserved partition:
      • rd R:\Recovery
    5. Copy WinRE to System partition:
      • robocopy C:\Windows\System32\Recovery\ R:\Recovery\WindowsRE\ WinRE.wim /copyall /dcopy:t
    6. Configure WinRE:
      • reagentc /setreimage /path C:\Recovery\WindowsRE
    7. Enable WinRE:
      • reagentc /enable

    Depending on your available space on your hard drive, you may find it useful to create a new partition at the end of the drive (after the OS partition) and store WinRE and, depending on size, an OSI folder (Original System Installation) which contains all files contained within the Windows 8.1 ISO or DVD.  If you choose to, it's important when you create the Recovery partition that you set the partition ID flag to 27 (0x27) using diskpart, as that designates it as a Recovery Partition.

    For example. I have a 250GB recovery partition that houses WinRE, OSI, and a recovery wim of my system with all desktop applications installed.  I've also edited the BCD to display the the 3 boot options (Windows 8.1, WinRE, Win 8.1 OSI) prior to booting Windows, as this allows a recovery of the OS if for some reason WinRE won't boot.

    I too have been getting the error code 800F0922 when trying to install update KB2919355 on my ASUS computer with Windows 8.1. I have tried both using the update server and manually downloading the update and installing it. My most recent attempt was today, May 16 2014 (2:30 pm EDT). I get the same error code each time. 

    I do not have a third party VPN client installed, though I noticed that apparently Windows 8.1 can establish a VPN connection through the Network and Internet section of the control panel.

    I checked the various partitions from free space - there are 4 partitions:

    • EFI System Partition - 100MB - 100% free
    • Recovery Partition - 900MB - 100% free
    • Recovery Partition - 29.01GB - 100% free
    • C: - 444.65 GB - 77% free

    The installation process under Windows completes with no errors. The machine then restarts and displays screen stating "Working on updates XX% complete Don't turn off your computer". It gets up to about 30-35% and then restarts again. The next screen that comes up is "Getting WIndows ready Don't turn off your computer" which shortly changes to the previous "Working on updates..." screen and starts at about 35%. It then proceeds to 99% complete. Then up comes the infamous screen "We couldn't complete the updates Undoing changes Don't turn off your computer"

    I've been trying to get this update installed off and on for the past month with no success. Can you provide some help!

    I've been getting error 800F0922 when trying to install KB2934018 (part of 2919355) ever since I did an in-place upgrade using the MSDN ISO just to get the regular 291935 update installed.

    Now, I'm getting this same error message (800F0922) when trying to install KB2955164 (released yesterday) and also when trying to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro using a license key and the anytime upgrade program.

    This is the error that keeps appearing for all three of these in my CBS logs which seems to be causing the rollback and the "undoing changes" message:

    2014-05-14 16:35:08, Error      [0x01803e] CSI    0000000e (F) Failed execution of queue item Installer: CSI HTTP Advanced Installer ({86fee01a-954a-11df-bc0c-cea7dfd72085}) with HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(1009).  Failure will not be ignored: A rollback will be initiated after all the operations in the installer queue are completed; installer is reliable (2)[gle=0x80004005]

    What is this CSI HTTP Advanced Installer and why is it failing? Also, here is a screenshot of my partitions:

    http://i.gyazo.com/825328451b2dbdb4dab21b58d65ce7a6.png

    I can see that the system reserved partition has no space left, but I can't seem to extend that any more than it already is. There just isn't an option to resize it, unlike the other partitions.

    And I already have a case open with Support, but they're not helping at all. I was literally told just to ignore the update and hide it in Windows Update, even thought this same problem is causing my Windows 8.1 Pro upgrade to fail, which I'd really like to get installed.

    Thanks in advance to anyone who has some insight on this whole dilemma.

    Brett
