Install attempt fails with error 0x800f0922 whether I run Windows Update  to install this update or run windows10.0-kb4532695-x64_a85fd28af075ebfd8b0753d2c2aca244e926c3ce.msu

Running WIndows 10 Pro Ver. 1909 build 18363.592

I have tried every suggestion by HiltonOishi in https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/failed-install-attempt-error-code-0x800f0922/c5eb31d7-f04f-4ff8-9d6f-f39e4f03944b

After the update installs I restart the computer and when it reboots it gets to 93% in "Working on Updates" then I get "We couldn't complete the updates Undoing changes"

Windows Update says this is an optional update. Should I just ignore the problem till the next 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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
