Error: 0x800F0922 when installing KB 2919355

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.

Can someone give me or point me to a link that has detailed instructions on how to increase the size of the System Reserved partition? I originally ran windows disk management which did not show I had a space problem with my System Reserved partition. I then downloaded and ran EaseUS Partition Manager which showed I had a full System Reserved Partition (128 Mb). I have been able to use EaseUS to create some unallocated space between my system reserved partition and C: Unfortunately I have not been able to figure out how to utilize this unallocated space to increase the size of my system reserved partition. When you right click on the system reserved partition or the unallocated space partition it will not give you the option to resize or merge them. These options apparently only come into play when dealing with a lettered drive such as C: Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Removing my vpn client worked for me, however I have a couple of questions; none of which are meant to be destructive or negative in nature.

1. Has the reason for the vpn interference been discovered? And will this effect my ability to perform updates in the future?
2. If this is known as the problem, why wouldn't microsoft just release a patch that works around the vpn issue?
3. Why didn't microsoft notify it's customers more directly that these workarounds were available (ex. by email / notification on the computer itself)? I have almost 22 hours over a month and a half (and a fair bit of stress trying to update before deadlines to continue receiving security updates) into trying to figure this out until I stumbled on the parent thread with the link here. This would have saved me a lot of time.

At the end of the day, I'm just glad my computer has the update and the security fixes. Thank you for providing these workarounds in an efficient way from the original thread! I'm just concerned about the future.

Thank you

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.

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!
