I too have tried to install this update 3 times, and receive error code: 80070246. even re-booted and tried. I clicked the link to get help with this error, and no support was found. I verified the other associated update was installed, kb2919442, and it was. also appears my other updates have the same error code 80070246.
any options?
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?

2016-04-23T04:11:42+00:00 Here is my solution:
- boot GParted live CD
- start terminal
sudo –s
mc (in v /mnt I created folder a)
"CTRL + o" = command line where i mounted to this folder /dev/sda1 by command
mount –t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/a
"CTRL + o" = back to midnight commander
(go to /mnt/a folder, where is mounted /sda1 ,there I found a huge file, which fulfill all drive(who knows where this come from...) and I deleted it.)
"CTRL + o" = command line
shutdown now –r (restart PC)
Then you can do update without problem, really fine work :)
Enjoy

2015-07-27T10:44:59+00:00 Some 40 Windows 8.1 updates failed on my Dad's new PC, and disabling secure boot did not work either. I thought your suggestion was the solution for a bit, because the number of updates to be installed seemed to change, but it wasn't the case. None of the suggestions here worked for me, I've had to reset the machine and let it update from the top. Perhaps I could have uninstalled all updates instead, but a clean installation seemed easier and more thorough.
You are absolutely right about these problems being ridiculous, though. And the advice by the so-called technical experts is indeed utterly useless, they just have a handful of tricks up their sleeves and that's it; no genuine understanding or problem-solving capabilities.
Scan this, clean that, change a setting or two, turn off your security suite . . . Still not working? Wipe that bastard clean!
Anyway, I thought I'd share my frustrations and how I "solved" the issue. I'm in IT, so it's a bit disappointing that I had to go for the brute force solution instead of an elegant fix, but well. We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.
Cheers.
