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 continue to get error 0x800F0922 while attempting to install KB2919355.

    I don't use a VPN Client and I have tried all the solutions listed in the 116+ pages of the previous thread over the past several weeks, with the exception of increasing the size of the “System Reserved Partition”.  Using the diskmgmt.msc reveals that my laptop (Lenovo T430 running Win 8.1 Pro x64) does not have a “System Reserved Partition”, per se. The closest I get are one “EFI System Partition” and 3 “Recovery Partitions” – all of which are 100% unused.  Is this the problem?  Do I need to create a “System Reserved Partition”?  And if so, how does one go about doing that?

    Similar to the situation mentioned by others, the KB2919355 update goes to 99% before rolling back.  All other MS updates received before and after this ugly brute have been installed without issue – including the update from Windows 8 to 8.1.  However, from the standpoint of time logged in attempting to resolve this failed install, Win 8.1 is the most expensive OS ever encountered by this sorry individual; and at this juncture, any and all (new) suggestions are welcomed.

    You should not. It should be a free call.

    Had this error ever since this update came up (Dell laptop upgraded from win7 to win8 with media center). Uninstalled the Cisco VPN today and the update finally worked!

    My machine's behavior is identical to other users here, with the 99% cutoff during the installation before rollback.

    When I installed my Windows partition I did not specify any System Reserve space/partitions at all, as I figured this would only inconvenience me because I don't/wouldn't use its features.

    Never had anything that looked like a VPN on this machine, either.

    I have tried installing the update so many time, every time same error. I have no VPN clients installed  in my system and i think i have plenty of GB spaces in C drive, I'm just a frustrated windows 8.1 user. Making just cases won't help us get serious about the problem cuz even after complete reinstall of windows and then installed all the required KB updates & the results was same error  0x8000F0922.
