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

  2. Select Turn Windows Features on or off.

    Hello Justine -

    How do I check if I have less than 500 MB in system reserved partition?

    OK - I just checked and I show only 100MB in that partition! ! ! 

    And I don't know how I can increase it, even though I have tons of room on C:

    Hi Clare JT,

    I can empathize with your Update Pain. I'm a System Administrator of a mid-sized Company and now imagine to have 20-30 Windows 10 Machines over Night beeing stuck in an Update loop. A complete Nightmare. When I set up a new Machine it is always problematic when Windows Updates interfere during this Process. E.g. Windows immediately triggers Updates when you just plug in your LAN Cable and Windows sees Internet (or a WSUS). And when you just use Home or Pro Edition the Options of Update Control are very limited compared to the Enterprise Editions of Windows.

    So I investigated for a save and resistant Method to permanently disable Windows Updates as long as the Setup of my Machines is not completed. I found a Way to completely eradicate the Windows Update Functionality and how to stop it from either searching for Updates as well as to prevent it from reenabling itself. This Procedure is reversible at any Time, so Updates can be reenabled if desired. I'm using a Windows 10 (Version 1709) Machine myself at Home with permanently disabled Updates since over 1 Year and there had been never any Updates so far. If you're interested in how to completely disable Windows Updates, please feel free to contact me via PM SoftSonic83[at]web.de. If there's any Interest I would also publish the Procedure to the Community within this Forum here.

    There are a lot of Steps to complete and there are some Tools out there to perform the Task of disabling Windows Updates. But the Problem is that Windows Update can reenable itself. So just disabling some Services is not the Solution. Theres's the evil WaaSMedic Service, that monitors all the other Update Components. If any Component is manipulated this Service will restore the Component based on a Template. So you also have to change Permissions on some Files, Folders and Registry Keys. If have not seen any Tool so far doing this in such a detailed Way I do on all my Machines. Because the Steps to enable/disable Updates this Way take about 15-20 mins. each Time I'm thinking about making a Script for that Task.

    Regards
