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.
  4. Restart your PC.

Method 3. Turn off your Firewall

We know that this is strange doing, but even Firewall can prevent updates occasionally. Here's how you can turn it off:

    I am a little bemused that the MS bots haven't suggested this - another user did but it's buried in this thread -  "APP readiness" service is the silver bullet (well mine at least).

    After the last point release my pc started to take c5-10minutes to turn on (prior it was faster than a mac) After some research and fiddling... I disabled the APP readiness service - like magic boot ups <20seconds again.

    The latest cumulative update for Windows 10 v2004 for x64 {KB4565503} kept installing and then rolling back (by the way thanks MS developers for actually bothering with a decent roll back). After another hour of research; reading and fiddling all to no avail; I found the mention of APP readiness. Obviously mine was still turned off - turned it on and Update was seamless.

    Thought I would share but haven't rebooted so may now have the 5 minute reboot issue again. I guess I will have to remember to toggle the service on and off.

    Suggestion - improve error handling codes they are way too generic!
