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

EDIT: I have fixed the problem. After trying actually everything else, I tried using the Windows Media Creation Tool. After downloading and installing the update from there, it took extra long for an update but sure enough it actually worked. All I can say is, man they need better error codes. That code can mean so many different things. Super glad it worked because I was dreading the seemingly inevitable windows re-installation. I'll leave the original post up for posterity.

PCR I need your help man, It always cannot complete updates and I keep getting 0x800f0922 and have done all the steps people say to do.

I have all the .NET Framework stuff installed

I have tried disabling all the firewalls and antiviruses

I have even gone in and deleted some boot fonts as per: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/-we-couldn-t-update-system-reserved-partition-error-installing-windows-10-46865f3f-37bb-4c51-c69f-07271b6672ac

I'm including my partitions for my boot drive and the disk list. The only thing I can possibly think of is maybe the fact that my boot drive isn't disk 0 might matter, but I'm not sure.

I read that manually increasing the size of the system reserved partition may fix it, but I'd have to download some third-party stuff for that and I'm not a fan of that. Neither am I a fan of reinstalling Windows, as sure as I am that would fix it.

Not sure if it would help but this all happened after a hard crash of my entire computer while playing a game (Separate GPU related issue I believe I have fixed). After this crash, this problem occurred since it wanted to try to update while the computer was booting. It always fails, and after that moment, I had an issue where the computer wouldn't Shut Down, it would only restart and go back to the lock screen. I have fixed that by turning off "Fast Startup" in the advanced power settings. I have done some other things too like trying to reinstall windows update, manually skipping an update, and clearing some temp files.

I hope you can help me.

Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

  Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset

  Partition 3    Reserved            16 MB   601 MB

  Partition 4    Primary            232 GB   617 MB

Is there a way to disconnect the drives that do not have the OS and then reconnect them after the update?

Up to you, but I'd pursue it a tad more after all this. Continue with the Quick Fixes, then try another upgrade. If it fails, show a SetupDiagResults.log per my earlier request.

Amor_Fati,

That was smart to do a /Scan first. Sounds like it's saying big trouble can result doing a real one. I've seen a thread wherein ChkDsk really chewed up a drive. It could be wise to make a Windows system image backup before doing a real ChkDsk.

Then maybe do this one first: "Right-click C: in File Explorer, Properties, Tools tab, Check"...

It's much, much quicker. It should offer to reboot & do the other one, if it finds it necessary. Otherwise, go ahead & do the other afterward anyway -- first with "/Scan" (which is also quick), then without it, if it reports errors.

Maybe, first, lessen the load with a Disk Cleanup at the General tab, but don't inadvertently delete your Downloads folder...
