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.

    I had done all of that yes and it still wouldn’t download the updates.

    I called HP and I had to pay $60 for there services to fix the issue. I had tried everything else with no success.

    I'll repost what I posted on June 5th.

    This can happen if you've uninstalled Microsoft Edge. The more recent versions of Windows 10 have made Edge mandatory, to the point where you can no longer go to Settings > Apps and uninstall it. However, that doesn't make it impossible to uninstall, and more adept users have found ways to do so. Unfortunately at least some of those uninstall methods leave the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge" folder still in place, and that will cause some of the latest updates to fail. If this is your issue, simply deleting the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge" folder should fix your problem with updates failing. Just be aware that the latest cumulative update (KB5003173), and possibly others, will re-install Edge onto your system and you will have to perform whatever uninstall you originally did to get rid of it again. I would have no problem with Edge if it allowed me to use a different default browser from Office apps, but sadly it doesn't.

    Yes. The firewall will normally restart whenever you restart the computer, but it doesn't hurt to make sure. But you might want to try what I posted above if the firewall doesn't work.
