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

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.

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 1    Recovery           500 MB  1024 KB

  Partition 2    System             100 MB   501 MB

  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...
