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 Devlin,

    I'm trying to run the reset file but it says I need administrator access. My account is set up as the administrator. Is there any trick that I need to do in order to get this access? Thank you

    I get Error 0x800f0922 for the 2018-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 x64 based system KB4284835 . I have tried much troubleshooting.

    I see on this Microsoft website it says "The error could also mean there isn't enough free space in the System Reserved partition. You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition. "

    I am just confused about how this happened in the first place. How and why did my System Reserve partition get full?  How do I fix this? Can anybody recommend what software to use to fix this issue of the system reserve partition being full or is there some other way to do it without resorting to third-party software? Are there risks? I am reluctant to reinstall everything. That is a very time consuming process and I have complicated software on this PC which is a lot of work to reinstall.

    Thanks for the link. I could not follow anything after step 2 as there appeared to be no "Volumes tab" in the Properties for the System Reserved Partition.  I could not determine if the System Reserved Partition was GPT or MBR style in order to follow the corresponding instruction.
