Been trying to put this update onto a VM all day without sucess. error 800F0922 each time. Tried downloading the update manually, removing VPNs.. Isn't there a better workaround than some potentially risky partition resizing?
Windows update KB2919355 fails to install - Error code 800F0922
Windows 8.1 Update for x64-based Systems (KB2919355)
Installation status: Failed
Error details: Code 800F0922
System got to 89% then said it couldn't complete the updates and that it would back out the updates. 15 minutes later, I'm back where I started.
Is it possible windows defender or other virus scanner blocked this update?

They did not, however, offer me any sort of compensation. Haha. But maybe you'll have some relief soon.

Also, I would think Microsoft wouldn't require people to invoke third party software to tweak their computer settings to allow a general update to be successfully installed. I would assume they are trying to address this in the background to those who are not power users.

2014-04-21T15:23:34+00:00 I was able to install KB2919355 after 8000F0922 error. But in my case there were no problems with system reserved partition. It turned out, installer could not execute "netcfg" command. Root cause was a Cisco VPN client. When I deleted VPN client, update installed normally.
I had the same problem as alexeyI. In fact, my PC doesn't even have a "System Reserved" partition (it's optional--used by BitLocker and perhaps other system features).
I looked in the Event Viewer (Windows Logs > Application) and saw that an APPCRASH event was logged by the source "Windows Error Reporting" at the same time that the KB2919355 update reported that it failed. In the "Problem Signature" section of the event, P1=netcfg.exe and P4=netcfgx.dll. So it was, as alexeyI pointed out, that the update was encountering an error when running netcfg. I also had Cisco VPN installed, so I uninstalled it and rebooted. After that I used Windows Update to apply KB2919355 again, and it succeeded without issue.
Cisco VPN has caused problems in the past in various other ways, and it often behaves in non-standard ways, such as automatically attempting to resinstall itself if a desktop shortcut to it is deleted etc. I wish Cisco would get their act together in regards to this program.
