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've tried all three methods mentioned but it still fails to update.

    The error mentions a partition. Is there a way to increase that partition without destroying Windows 10 and requiring a full reinstall?

    I'm at my wits end here.

    Yes of course that's why I am saying it's worth all the work coming with a clean installation if you want to get a free upgrade to Win 10.

    It's worth it if you want a free upgrade to Win 10.

    I think you missed the point of this thread, this IS Windows 10.

    Make a clean install of Win 10 using the proper tool provided by Microsoft. That will solve all your troubles. 

    Yeah, it will, but I also don't want to lose my data. Especially my 1TB of memes, all of my documents, and 50GB of uncompressed music.

    I also don't want to reinstall all of my IDE's and back up all of my code. (and the requisites)
