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.

    I believe that "Boot" partition is not same as "system reserve" partition.

    In my case, I had an issue with lack of space in my system reserve partition that caused this error.

    The error was resolved by deleting some files which I realized clearly did not belong in my "system reserve" partition.

    Neither of these helped. The update still fails.

    I'm doing a hardware refresh in April on my HEDT. Hopefully the new copy of Windows 10 Home will have this update already installed on the disk. I just have to live with the constant nag messages to restart my system and the fail/rollback issue until then.

    I applied all the three methods, but in vain.  When I checked .Net Frame works in Windows Features, after completion, I got the following message:

                        "Could not complete th e requested changes.Windows requires a restart to return

                         to its original state."

                     At the same time, I am also getting a notification , @ your device is missing important updates."

                    Is there anyother option to install updates.
