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.

    I've been chasing this issue for 8 months now.

    System:

    Lenovo T530

    Windows 7 factory install with in-place upgrade to Win 8 then upgrade to 8.1

    The MS forums lead everyone on a wild goose chase with changing partition sizes, uninstalling vpn software, uninstalling AV software, contacting MS support, clean booting, etc, etc, etc.

    I was getting these errors installing KB2919355 and the solution for "unable to install... rolling back" was to change the boot mode in the bios from  UEFI to Legacy.

    Here are the log items in case someone else stumbles upon this forum.

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922: Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2962409).

    Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x800F0922: Windows 8.1 Update for x64-based Systems (KB2919355).

    THE FIX:

    I hate referencing another forum here but this solved my issue:

    search for "uefi-secure-boot-may-cause-windows-updates-to-fail-with-error-code-0x800f0922" on bleepingcomputer forum.

    I hope this helps!

    I think trying something like partition magic (freeware), to increase the partition size may work. But I haven't tried yet.

    OK so i just contacted Support and gave them the information that i was trying to install KB2919355 but getting error 800F0922. I was told that in order to fix the problem they would need to remotly access my computer, and they had the fix for the issue. !?

    So you have the issue... Here if my point:

    You have the fix and you are not putting it online for everyone to have it, instead you want everyone to call into support, let you remotely access there personal computers, in order to fix a issue that is apparently known about and a patch has been created. 

    When i protested against letting them remotely access my PERSONAL PC, which is MINE!! I was hung up on even tho i was respectful and patient waiting in line to talk to them. SERIOUSLY!!! 

    Highly disappointing! I have never had to call support as i have always found was to fix the problems that arise from software issues. I guess this will be another one of those times. 

    Just furious knowing Microsoft "Has a fix" and is not releasing it to the public. We paid for the software and yet we are still paying! Best of luck to everyone who has this issue and I will keep you up to date with my progress.

    All "automatic" fixes have been released. 

    There is no magical fix here.

    Error 800F0922 may be due to a too-small System Reserved Partition size (you'll need to use a third party program, such as EaseUS Partition Manager to fix it), or might be a conflict with a VPN Client module
