Error: 0x800F0922 when installing KB 2919355

I finally opened a ticket with MS support. They spent over 4 hours and fixed my machine. My faith has been restored in MS.

It was actually very painless, you just need a morning or afternoon to hang around the house. They hung up the phone and did the work, then called me back.

I'm happy>>>>

I don't have Classic shell or VPNs installed, also tried deleting HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WINEVT and I'm still getting the error.

This is pathetic, what a fiasco.

***It appears I have stumbled upon a fix for all KB2919355 issues and will be posting this to numerous forum threads***

As many discoveries have been made, I discovered this accidentally. and quite by coincidence... 

In order for users, who've been plagued by errors and file corruption, to get a successful completion of KB2919355, all that's needed is to run the 8.1 upgrade installer, and when the 8.1 installed goes to the wait screen after entering the generic product key, start Windows Update for the install of KB2919355

Steps

1. Run the Windows 8.1 installer from within Windows, as if you're going to do an install repair "upgrade".
2. Enter the generic product key, and upon clicking next, the installer will say wait...
3. Give the installer about 5 minutes, then start Windows Update (it should show the KB2919355 update), and click install.
4. Windows Update will begin downloading the update... if you have a Windows Update cache problem that causes the speed and percentage to remain at zero, don't worry about it and get the update installed first, then you can clear the cache and remove the directories afterwards.
5. The install may fail, don't worry... simply hit install again, making sure the 8.1 installer screen is still on the "wait" screen, as whatever the installer is doing during the "wait" screen is what makes the KB2919355 install possible.
6. KB2919355 should install and Windows Update should request you to restart... simply do so without cancelling the 8.1 installer.  Windows will finalize the update during the shutdown and restart processes.
7. Upon rebooting into Windows, you will have a multitude of additional updates that will need to be installed (around 10, give or take a few), and you can verify the install of KB2919355 by going to "view installed updates"

A few users will need to comment back once they'e performed this in order to see if this automatically fixes the multitude of issues users are facing, and if it doesn't complete successfully, then I can back track what step I took over the past several days in order to figure out what caused this to work for me, but not others if problems occur.

I'm working on this issue since almost two weeks now and it is still failing on my PC (on my Laptop it worked properly). And no, I don't want to reset Windoof!

1. I don’t have a VPN client’s installed;
2. Disk management displays System Reserve Partition size 360MB with a Free Space of 360MB;
3. And the Partition system software I downloaded displays the unused at 323.34MB;
4. I have tried all the MS suggestions that have been posted, many many times during days of unproductive efforts, a huge waste of time;
5. I am still getting error 0x8000F0922, every morning when the automatic update tries, and fails to install KB2919355.

Now to my question to Microsoft: are your seriously working on a solution to this problem which I hope you will provide before the new deadline of June 9^th^? If this is the case than I will stop my useless and frustrating involvement in trying to get out of your update fiasco. If the answer is negative, well the only solution is to revert to Windows 8, which looks and feel like a repeat of Vista!!

What a shame.
