This error may appear anytime a Windows Update fails. To investigate possible solutions, we need to start with the specific error code.

We can do this by viewing your update history.

  1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen (or, if you're using a mouse, pointing to the lower-right corner of the screen and moving the mouse pointer up), and tap or click Settings.
  2. Tap or click Change PC settings, and then Update and recovery.
  3. Tap or click View your update history.

    Tapping on the update history gave me the error code of 800F0922.  There are 10 updates that fail to load.  The first of the list of updates has the number KB3092627.  I could list them all if that is required.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Security Update For Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB3072307)

    Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB3092627)

    Security Upddate for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB3086255)

    Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB3087038)

    Those seems to be the most frequent updates to fail, it's really annoying having to wait 5-10 minutes everytime I restart/shut down my PC. Also, is there any harm to my PC by this happening everyday?

    I got the same message several times now, but luckily my brand new computer will turn off.  When I read the steps to fix this, I went to history for updates, and every update says that it was successful.  NO error messages.

    This seems to be an extremely common problem.  How should it be solved ??
