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.

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.

    Hi Devlin,

    Is there a similar tool for server platforms? I'm having update problems with Server 2016.

    Thanks

    Followed all of these and getting different error codes  on several occasions. After 51 % of down loading error message props up and it starts reversing. There is enough of disc space, 900G, and McFee was also turned OFF. NET Framework Version is 4.7. 

    PS: On my tablet it was automatically updated to version 1809 with no problem.

    Hello Mr. Justine,

            As suggested above, I have tried all the above options, but not able to update Windows.

           I opened the Windows Features and did not find Dotnet file, but I did find .NET Framework and >NET framework 4.7(Advanced) files and checked them. After completion of the process, I got a message:-

          "Windows could not complete the required changes. Windows requires a reboot to return to original position"

          I tried it twice and everytime, I got the above message though I also turned the Firewall(Public and Private Firewall).

         The problem remains unchanged though the update is being downloaded automatically and subsequently reversed.

        Now I have got the new message" Your device is missing important security and quality fixes."

    Perhaps it is for the above update.

                    No response received please
