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.

    Do a Google search for KB#  and download manually.

    Alternatively,

    ->Settings -> Windows Update - > View update history

        Click on the failed update (ore any other) -> will link to the specifics of the update (in Windows Support Downloads)

        Example: 2019-02 Cumulative Update .... -> https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4487017/windows-10-update-kb4487017

        Scroll down to 'How to get this update' and follow instructions.

    So how does one VIEW and delete these files ??????

    Clearly this error code could potentially relate to any number of diverse and unrelated issues.

    Perhaps my particular form of this issue was rare.

    But in response to your query, here are the first 2 steps to resolving my issue which related to files that needed to be deleted from the system reserve partition.

    First begin to type "disk management" in the search box to access the "disk management" window.

    Second you want to see from the disk management window if your system reserve partition is getting full. In the image below,  it is fine, so nothing needs to be done.  If it were getting full, there are a few other steps needed to remove the files. I have not gone to the trouble of sharing the subsequent steps  since it appears my issue was pretty rare, but if anyone else other than me needs this info, I can share that too later. It is already buried above in the myriad of posts in  this mess of a thread.

    Step 1

    Step 2

    So I attempted all of the steps above with no success.  Then in going through the system event log I found a reference to the Application Readiness service failing to start.  I had ignored this warning in every step I had taken. So I looked into the warning and found the service was set to manual.  I started the service and it stopped as should be the case but it didn't throw any error that was not expected since it was set to manual.  As an experiment I set it to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" and rebooted.  Attempted the install again and it went through. Must have been an update to the Store Application that needed that service running.
