Error: 0x800F0922 when installing KB 2919355

I know the following to solve all KB2919355 issues, and pasted below are the two tutorials.  The first is one that was written to get rid of the component store corruption that 2919355 causes, of which the computer you're working on has.  You will need to do a repair install (tutorial at the bottom of Tutorial 1).  The second tutorial is how to get 2919355 installed after the repair install, however, you should be able to install 2919355 fine after the repair install.  If it still fails, then follow the second tutorial.

Hi. I have a question about this (and the other) proposed solutions -- how does KB2961908 ("security update for x64-based systems without KB2919355 installed") tie into these solutions? I'm getting error 800F0922 when trying to install KB2961908 -- my impression was that it is best to get this one installed first before trying to get KB2919355 working.. not sure if that is actually the case?

I can't recall at this point if I've already tried (and failed) to get KB2919355 itself installed after the former failed, and I'm bit reluctant to try to do so until figuring out what is the expected order.

Hi guys,

I was also struggling with these issues for many weeks now, and finally got it working today:

I just cleaned up my machine a little bit by removing SonicWALL VPN Client, OpenVPN, another VPN manager and a partitioning tool. I guess it had something to do with VPN indeed.

I made sure that no VPN adapters/connections remain (only standad ethernet adapter).

After that, I normally installed update 2919355 using Windows Update. During downloading I additionally disabled Windows Defender, since it seemed to be quite active by checking the update (according to Task manager) - I just wanted to go sure that it doesnt affect the installation process.

Thats all - really helped me out.

Best Regards and good luck,

Andreas

PS: It's still a shame that such things can break a system update installation.

To be clear, you aren't unpatched at this time.  All security updates through June are being released both with and without versions for KB2919355.

The only patches you are missing are ones that specifically post KB2919355 (one is fixing a hibernation issue introduced by KB2919355).

I can't say they aren't taking this seriously.  The revised KB2919355 shows they are.  I can say they aren't taking this as seriously as everyone in this thread would like (nor I).  I can only say that I'm sorry and understand your frustration.

I do not understand why this issue is not being taken more seriously. This error causes the computer to roll back to its previous state, and as a result, every patch that has been released after KB2919355 is never successfully installed. This means that I have been running an unpatched machine for the past two months.

I can't believe the only solution is to waste an entire afternoon with MS support so that they basically reformat my PC, leaving me to reinstall everything again. I cannot express how frustrated I am at MS right now.

Walter,

The only solution is to reinstall Windows 8.1 from CD.  I tried everything you described and could not get it to work.  I got MS tech support to "help" and they did the same procedures.  They finally gave up and downloaded and ISO to my machine and did the re-install.

Goof Luck

Yes, this would solve the problem and at the same time give me a clean system again. But it is a lot of work as I have dozens of applications installed on this machine and they all need to be reinstalled and possibly even updated to the latest version.

I'll wait a bit before I decide but if I am going to reinstall one thing is sure: I'll install Windows 7.

I am fed up of this Windows 8, KB 2919355 is not the only problem. I can't use some VPN connections because installing a TAP adapter on Win 8.1 fails (and it is still not solved).
