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

  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.

    Hi Justine, 

    I have tried all 3 ways but still cannot finish the update. Do you have any idea how I can fix this or troubleshooting this problem? 

    The system failed to update KB4537572, KB4549951, KB4551762 (0x800f0922).

    Thank you.

    We found that service "App Readiness" needed to be enabled. We had disabled it via GP it to try and speed up login process, but every single Windows 10 update that required a reboot (E.g. cumulative updates) failed with error 0x800f0992.

    Windows 7 updates had worked fine and it was only upgrading to Windows 10 did we see this issue.

    Re-enabling "App Readiness" service solved this issue for us after we had fruitlessly tried many other suggestions on the various forums.

    The App Readiness change is what solved this issue for me on my Home PC. I had tried numerous other solutions including the solutions selected in this thread to no avail. I even talked to Dell support and they just wanted to reinstall Windows 10 which I did not want to do. Thanks Jeff for pointing this one out. 

    By the way the below link shows you how to change the App readiness service. Changing it to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" worked.
