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.

    Hi GanpatMandal

    In the end, after trying many times, I gave up, made a backup of all my personal files/folders and did a complete reset on Windows 10 and re-installed all my apps and docs etc. after ensuring all Windows updates where installed and up to date. This is a real pain, but it is better than having to wait 40 minutes whilst windows installs / fails / rollsback every few days!

    I followed all the procedure but I couldn't helped with these methods. I once again checked all the procedure and install the updates but still it failed. What next?

    Hide all updates not installed (search for the applet).

    Then restart your computer. 

    Then unhide one update at the time and run Windows update.

    It worked for me and I hope it does for you too!

    I'm using a windows surface book 2 and as far as I can tell there is no system reserve partition and I still have this issue since Aug 2019. Started with the KB4512941 PATCH and now affecting all updates. I have not succeeded in resolving issue and not really in a position to do a full windows restore!
