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

    Hi,

    In my case, the culprit is the uninstall of Edge. By reading C:\Windows\Logs\CBs.log after an unsuccessfull install of KB5005101, I found the following: 

    Error      [0x018066] CSI    00000e63 (F) Failed execution of queue item Installer: Edge Installer ({cf7e0697-ee30-4ed8-8bca-297eeb00c6e6}) with HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32(ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).  Failure will not be ignored: A rollback will be initiated after all the operations in the installer queue are completed; installer is reliable[gle=0x80004005]

    So, I have reinstalled Edge, then relaunched the update KB5005101 successfully : the error 0x800f0922 has vanished.

    Cheers;

    Forgive me if you've already done this (can't keep track of who has), but have you looked at what I posted on June 5th and July 26th? The Edge browser, and it's install location, can cause these problems.
