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've tried all three methods mentioned but it still fails to update.

    The error mentions a partition. Is there a way to increase that partition without destroying Windows 10 and requiring a full reinstall?

    I'm at my wits end here.

    Hi Thomas,

    I had the same problem about a month ago on windows 10 version 1903.

    I've solved it by downloading Microsoft tool to upgrade to version 20H2, which upgraded whole operating system and since then everything works.

    Hope it helps.

    You can use minitool Partition Wizard the only thing is I would try to backup your desk before proceeding I think 500 megabytes in the beginning of the drive would be enough room for it to grow yeah either a full disc backup or a clone of the hard drive
