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:

    This thread keeps rolling after almost 3 years with no solution at sight.

    And Windows Update here has just disabled the 'Pause updates for 7 days' option-the only effective solution until now.

    When will MS fix this problem?

    So I attempted all of the steps above with no success.  Then in going through the system event log I found a reference to the Application Readiness service failing to start.  I had ignored this warning in every step I had taken. So I looked into the warning and found the service was set to manual.  I started the service and it stopped as should be the case but it didn't throw any error that was not expected since it was set to manual.  As an experiment I set it to "Automatic (Delayed Start)" and rebooted.  Attempted the install again and it went through. Must have been an update to the Store Application that needed that service running.

    Thank you for posting back and we're sorry for the delay.

    1. The system reserve and recovery partition are two different things. The former is created during Windows installation and has a fixed drive space of 500mb in Windows 10. It contains the Boot Manager, Boot Configuration Data (both responsible for booting Windows 10), and the startup files used for BitLocker Drive Encryption. While the latter is created by the user or device manufacturer for recovery purposes in case of a serious system error. It usually contains the device drivers, software, and manuals.
    2. Should you need more drive space for your recovery partition, by all means, you can increase it if you still have unallocated drive space left or by shrinking other drive partitions.
    3. We apologize for the confusion, we're referring to .NET.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Sorry to say this but your propsed answer didnt even touch that users question. Please read better.
