Windows Update Error 0x800f0922

Hi Rob,

Error 0x800f0922 occurs when downloading the newest update of Windows 10. It also means that you have less than 500 MB in system reserved partition. You may follow the methods provided below and check if you'll be able to update your device.

Method 1. Check your Internet connection

You need to make sure that you have an internet connection and if possible, you are using wired connections

Method 2. Check .NET Framework
Make sure you have the latest version of NET Framework installed. You may enable it in Windows features. Here's how:

1. Type Windows Features on the search bar and press Enter.
2. Select Turn Windows Features on or off.
3. Check any boxes related to DotNet Framework and save selection.
4. Restart your PC.

Method 3. Turn off your Firewall

We know that this is strange doing, but even Firewall can prevent updates occasionally. Here's how you can turn it off:

1. Type Firewall on the search bar and press Enter.
2. Open Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
3. Turn off Firewall for both private and public networks.
4. Save your selection.

Let us know if you find this helpful. We will be glad to assist you further. 

It didn't work...

Hi Thomas, I had the same problem. Use the Windows Media Creation Tool (MCT). See here what I did to solve error 0x800f0922 :

Hi to all,

After more than 2 weeks searching for answers, I tried all these procedures:

1. Using DISM en SFC tools
2. Reset Windows Update Componenten (using Windows Powershell)
3. Activate .NET Framework
4. Updates without firewall
5. Using Windows Update Troubleshooter
6. App Readiness on automatic after manual activating
7. Download update from Microsoft Windows 10 download site
8. Updates without (removed) viruscanner
9. Using Windows Media Creation Tool (successful!)

After unsuccessfully trying solutions 1 to 8, I found this very interesting post written by Sumit(volunteer moderator):

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-updates-fail-to-install-error-0x800f0922/e6def92c-2c4d-436d-95e3-560c89265491

I followed the instructions of Sumit and used the Media Creation Tool (MCT) to effectively realise the migration from Windows 10 version 2004 to version 20H2. What MCT does is that it apparently follows a different route to upgrade to version 20H2, other than the usual Windows Update procedure. Using MCT to migrate to Windows 10 version 20H2 went (in my situation) successfully!

However, there are a few remarks I would like to make:

• Using MCT is a very time-consuming procedure. In my situation (read: my configuration, harddisk speed,  and setting of system parameters) it took me almost 2 hours to migrate to version 20H2.
• The procedure contains multiple reboots of the system.
• I expected a faster start up with version 20H2, since this is a renewed/refreshed Operating System. That is unfortunately not the case. I believe the start-up of version 20H2 is somewhat slower than the 2004 version.
• I hoped for some sort of indicator telling you how the start-up of Windows is developing i.e. a percentage (like the update installer) or time remaining to finish the Windows start-up procedure. Maybe an idea for the next version of Windows?

But I'm very happy that I was able to migrate to Windows 10 version 20H2 successfully. Thanks Sumit!

You can use minitool Partition Wizard the only thing is I would try to backup your desk before proceeding I think 500 megabytes in the beginning of the drive would be enough room for it to grow yeah either a full disc backup or a clone of the hard drive

Hi Thomas,

I had the same problem about a month ago on windows 10 version 1903.

I've solved it by downloading Microsoft tool to upgrade to version 20H2, which upgraded whole operating system and since then everything works.

Hope it helps.
