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.

    Now, I am facing an other issue with the 0x800f0922 error. As I stated in my previous post my system partitions is 16MB and everything I read says it should be 500MB.

    Now I followed instructions to increase the partition with little success. The program will not allow me to resize the system partition. I have read that it is do to Microsoft closing it off to prevent hacking. Understandable. It was suggested to give the system partition a drive letter in order to resize it, however, that option is not available.

    Anyone have a suggestion?

    I have not uninstalled or altered Edge.

    I have been looking at comments about the reserve partition. Window partition does not show this drive. I used EaseUS Partition Master and its shows this drive to be 16MB of size. Instructions I have read say that the reserve partition should be set at 500MB. Now, the issue no is that I am to being allowed to resize the reserve partition.

    When I right click on reserved partition, I am not given the option to resize. I am given the options of delete, clone, wipe data and properties.

    Properties gives me this

    I read that one person had to resinstall windows to solve the 0x800f0922 error. He calms it worked.

    Have you uninstalled or altered the standard Microsoft Edge installation? If so, you might want to check what I posted on June 5th.
