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.

    I agree.If Windows 10 is unable to update it would seem that the issues falls on MS shoulders. Asking the consumer to become an IT specialist is a stretch. Alas MS (and others) really just through issues against the wall in forums and see what sticks. Mo real direst help. Many have gone this route and many are losing share in the industry.Start chasing forum advice and soon you will be dizzy and exhausted and still the issue remains. Step up MS and show the consumer some REAL Customer service or just kick us to the curb as usual and whistle past the grave yard. Your call.
