Error 0x800f0922 for 2020-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1909 for x64-based Systems (KB4532695)

Dear Microsoft,

Curses.

With kind regards, Mr this is really frustrating thanks for taking another hour of my life. It would have been more, but I've grown smart enough to give up on these broken updates.

VBabooshka, yours is a UEFI install, I say, because it has that 128 MB System Reserved partition. To be certain, try "BCDEdit" at an Administrator Command Prompt. In the Windows Boot Manager, it must mention EFI twice in the Path. As your EFI partition is partition 2, I expect your Device will say "HardDiskVolume2"...

helzayat's discovery was about his EFI System partition. Your EFI is partition 2, so...

(1) Type "CMD" into the Search bar, & click "Run as Administrator".

(2) Enterthe following commands...

DiskPart

Select  Disk  0

List  Part

Select  Part  2 <<< Your EFI is partition 2, VBabooshka

Detail  Part

Exit

Use Ctrl-A & Ctrl-C to copy, then post it to us, The main thing is for it to have the proper type ID of:  c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b

If it does not have it, then this will fix it...

DiskPart                                                                                       <<<Start DiskPart

Select  Disk  0                                                                              <<<Select drive 0

Select  Part  2                                                                              <<<Select the EFI partition

Detail  Part                                                                                  <<<Show improper ID

Set ID=c12a7328-f81f-11d2-ba4b-00a0c93ec93b  Override     <<<Give it proper ID

Detail  Part                                                                                  <<<Show proper ID

Exit                                                                                               <<<Leave DiskPart

Best reboot afterward to be sure it registers.

That should do it. If it solves the problem, both helzayat & crackshot91 also deserve credit.

Good afternoon, 

I am beyond frustrated trying to fix this issue and I'm not a computer person.  this is the information that comes up when I run the above suggested diagnostic.  Any sight on how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate.

Kindest regards

BecauseDanielWasTaken,

That is great news that you solved it on your own. Good going. That's right, (I almost forgot) sometimes a feature update (new version) installs better when done with the Media Creation Tool, either directly or after making an ISO or a Win 10 Installation USB drive. I had to do it once myself. I like the USB drive because it comes with a recovery environment & of course can also be used for a clean install. Thanks for the reminder.

Your partitions look good, Probably you've got a 5th now. It will be 20H2's Recovery partition carved off the end of the Windows partition (partition 4). Partition 1 is wasted space now (but it isn't much), & it probably is empty. A "ReagentC  /Info" will name the RE location to be partition 5.

That looks like a UEFI install on Disk 1 because of the presence of what looks like an MSR (Microsoft Reserved) 16 MB partition. A Legacy install wouldn't have one. So, partition 2 is an EFI system partition. EFI never needs to be larger than 100 MB. A System Reserved partition (of a Legacy install) can double as the Recovery partition (meaning it will hold WinRE.wim) & also can be used by 3rd-party software; so, that might need more space sometimes. Glad you don't have one & didn't have to do it.

Good going. Good luck, & keep us informed.

JohnTimmermans1,

(1) First, let's see whether you've got a System partition (EFI or System Reserved) on the other disks. Show a "right-click START, Disk Management". Use the divider lines in the Header to make each column fully readable. Show all the disks, but scrunch it smaller using the divider line between the panes.

(2) If there is an extra System partition on one, we'd have to research...

(a) Would disabling the disk(s) in Device Manager do it?

(b) If an EFI, how about just changing its ID to something else?

(c) If a System Reserved, would removing its Active attribute be enough?

I don't know, it would take research or trial & error to know. Unplugging it probably is best.
