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:

  1. Type Firewall on the search bar and press Enter.
  2. Open Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
  3. Turn off Firewall for both private and public networks.
  4. Save your selection.
  5. After saving your selection, you may try updating your device.

    After more than 2 weeks searching for answers, I tried all these procedures:

    1. Using DISM en SFC tools
    2. Reset Windows Update Componenten (using Windows Powershell)
    3. Activate .NET Framework
    4. Updates without firewall
    5. Using Windows Update Troubleshooter
    6. App Readiness on automatic after manual activating
    7. Download update from Microsoft Windows 10 download site
    8. Updates without (removed) viruscanner
    9. Using Windows Media Creation Tool (successful!)

    For solutions 1 to 3 see here :

    https://www.icttipsandtricks.nl/2017/09/05/fout-windows-10-update-error-code-0x800f0922-oplossen/

    After unsuccessfully trying solutions 1 to 8, I found this very interesting post written by Sumit(volunteer moderator):

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-updates-fail-to-install-error-0x800f0922/e6def92c-2c4d-436d-95e3-560c89265491

    I followed the instructions of Sumit and used the Media Creation Tool (MCT) to effectively realise the migration from Windows 10 version 2004 to version 20H2. What MCT does is that it apparently follows a different route to upgrade to version 20H2, other than the usual Windows Update procedure. Using MCT to migrate to Windows 10 version 20H2 went (in my situation) successfully!

    However, there are a few remarks I would like to make:

    • Using MCT is a very time-consuming procedure. In my situation (read: my configuration, harddisk speed,  and setting of system parameters) it took me almost 2 hours to migrate to version 20H2.
    • The procedure contains multiple reboots of the system.
    • I expected a faster start up with version 20H2, since this is a renewed/refreshed Operating System. That is unfortunately not the case. I believe the start-up of version 20H2 is somewhat slower than the 2004 version.
    • I hoped for some sort of indicator telling you how the start-up of Windows is developing i.e. a percentage (like the update installer) or time remaining to finish the Windows start-up procedure. Maybe an idea for the next version of Windows?

    But I'm very happy that I was able to migrate to Windows 10 version 20H2 successfully. Thanks Sumit!

    Hi all,

    Just want to say that I manage to get this to work (actually it was a colleague of mine that figured it out).

    Error 0x800f0922 when you uninstall roles - Windows Server | Microsoft Docs

    Even though that is for uninstalling roles, it works.

    What I did is this:

    1. Cleared all the files in C:\Windows\Temp.
    2. Download/install the update from MS website.
    3. Reboot the machine.

    Hope this helps.  Good luck guys.

    Cheers,

    Jason

    Thank you Ramesh! Turning on the App Readines service allowed me to install the update. I had turned it off because I usually get stuck at a black screen when trying to log into Windows after a restart.

    It means you cannot use Microsoft windows. Remove it & install Linux.
