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

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.

    Everyone! If everything listed above/below fails just install Edge browser! For some stupid reasons (I don't even want to think about) it works! I was struggling to fix that for a couple of months I think... The update would stop at approximately 98% in my case. I wish it works for all of You guys having this trouble.

    Thank you! I deleted the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge" folder, and the update was able to complete. After the update, MS Edge opened fine, and all my favorites were still in place. Was trying to install the latest update for weeks, and it would always uninstall once it got to 98/99%. Once I tried your trick, everything worked (and even completed faster!) How did you figure out that this folder was the problem?

    Wow, I'd have to go back and figure out where I first found that. I can't remember right now.

    After turning off the firewall, do you turn it on after installation.....assuming of course that the update works...?
