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

    Well guess what... its back, I am now on Windows 10 version 1909...

    I have had this for about 2 months now.

    TBH this is one of the most expensive laptops available i7 Surface Book 2 with 1Tb SSD etc. on the market and MS cant even get their act together here!

    I am not in the mood to do another full Windows restore, then spend 2 days re-installing apps, copying back data etc.

    I have no idea why MS updates have started to fail again, just started out of the blue. I have done everything everyone suggested and still fails, can MS sort this out please?!?!
