Windows Update Error 0x800f0922

Anonymous

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.

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:

Type Windows Features on the search bar and press Enter.
Select Turn Windows Features on or off.
Check any boxes related to DotNet Framework and save selection.
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:

Type Firewall on the search bar and press Enter.
Open Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Turn off Firewall for both private and public networks.
Save your selection.
After saving your selection, you may try updating your device.

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

None of the above 3 methods works in my case.

Me neither, I have tried all three methods PLUS the less than 500MB in SYSTEM RESERVE (Not Recovery Patition).

I have install EVERY .net framework and the features list, I have did an SFC scan with DSIM (lead to an error with logging in after that, had to fix that on top of it), disabled firewall, disabled AV, even disable my ROUTER FIREWALL. And it's obviously not my Internet (since I am replying).

I suspect it is the update that I refused to do (the Removal of Flash Player Update) because I would like to keep it for my old archives. This is still happening in **** 2021 and it is really starting to get on my nerves.

You're an absolute genius!

After unsuccesfully trying so many recipes and tricks this one worked like charm.

Thank you so much!

In this case it is an Intel NUC 8i5, 512 GB HD with 2 (two) hidden recovery partitions (529+764 MB), one at each end of the physical disk.

In have been unsuccessful with the installation of Windows 10 Update 0X800f0922. I have increased the the reserved partition to well above 500 MB and I downloaded and installed Net Framework 5.0 I have tried with the firewall off and with it own. The computer goes thru the installation and then states that the installation was unsuccessful and then proceeds to remove all of the file changes, leaving me with the message that Windows 10 Update 0X800f0922 failed to install. I am needful of getting this update that my computer be up to date.
