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.

    For the past three months I have received the 0x800f0922 error. My computer will try tell me to update, do the update and when it reached 99% it undoes the update. This will go on for an average of two weeks and then the update will appear to install. Then there is another update and the cycle continued. When the new update cycle begins, I find that I am once more trying to install the KB5005033 update.

    I have followed the instructions in this article and others without solving the issue.

    I am still unable to update my PC after doing all the methods

    Neither was I so I saved all my files and used my Recovery USB drive to reinstall Windows 10 and now I'm fine and everything works as expected. It's a pain in the butt, I know but that's the price we have to pay using Microsoft products. No help from them, unfortunately!
