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:

  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.

    I have over 800 MB free on the reserved partition and still can't get it to install.  I tried several times and eventually the system got stuck trying to undo changes.  I restored from a restore point that allowed me to get the system up but it says it couldn't restore some net framework file.  At this point I am going to stop trying.

    Hi Justine, thanks for your rapid response! It has been very helpful: the problem is solved 👌😊!!!!

    However, I do have two questions: 

    1. The update KB4523205 has (apparently) been performed, but there's no record of that. Subsequently other updates are performed of which a track record is made. Why is this update not in the 'update history'?
    2. Why is the 'update history' before this update not visible anymore?

    Regards, Rob van Grieken.
