Hi,  while most recent (14/02/18) auto updates were installing they failed and windows removed failed files. Problem error code 0x800f0992 appeared, not sure what to do as website does not explain how to cure problem with any clarity. Possibly to do with NET framework. Should I wait for possible patch/workaround.

your usual expertise would be appreciated.

regards Rob.

    I agree John, Windows 10 is a serious downgrade from windows 7. It has given me nothing but trouble. I had very good luck with 7. Microsoft will never admit that they screwed up. They are like Trump and can never admit a mistake.

    What has this to do with the system reserve partition? 

    I don't have one on any of my drives (and there are a total of 5) and there have been no windows update failures up to yesterday (October 11, 2018).

    How and why did my System Reserve partition get full?         

    I was able to answer this question by using the "change drive letter and paths" option by right click of System Reserve Partition. By adding  a drive letter I was able to view contents in File Explorer. In this way I discovered that at some point in June a computer help person had for some reason stored some back up data files on my System Reserve Partition and so I was able to free up the space by moving the data somewhere else. Then I could also remove the drive letter once I was done to avoid confusion.
