Windows 10: Unable to complete 1/12 Update - error 0x800f0922

As the title suggests, my computer is failing to update as per the newest update released by Windows.

The updates it is attempting to install are as follows:

>Security Intelligence Update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus - KB2267602 Version 1.329.2448.0
>
>2021-01 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64 KB4586876
>
>2021-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 2004 for x64-based Systems KB4598242

After all Status' on the Windows Update GUI state "Pending Restart", I attempt to restart and update and I get hit with an error that the windows update has failed to install and that the files will be removed. I am then brought back to my lock screen and the Windows Update GUI prompts me for the updates once again.

Since this issue began this afternoon, I am no longer able to cleanly shut down my computer or put it to sleep. Shutting it down brings me back to the lock screen and putting it to sleep simply shuts off the monitors momentarily and then also puts me back to the lock screen.

Anyone have any idea what the hell is going on here?

I have made sure that all of the .Net Framework is installed and selected underneath the Windows Features tab and I have attempted shutting off the firewall on both my device and network to see if that would fix the issue.


My last successful update was on 1/12 and that was KB4592438


I’m not sure if it helps, but I’ve also looked into the partitions on my C: drive, they are as follows:


Volume: C:, Layout: Simple, Type: Basic, Status: Healthy Boot, Page file, crash dump, basic data partition, capacity: 930GB, % Free: 67%

Volume: Disk 1 Partition 1, Layout: Simple, Type: Basic, Status: Healthy EFI System Partition, capacity: 100 MB, % Free: 100%


Volume: Disk 1 Partition 4, Layout: Simple, Type: Basic, Status: Healthy Recovery Partition, capacity: 505MB, % Free: 17%

Windows refuses to update - Error 0x800f0922


Windows won't update, i ran sfc as an Admin in CMD and no issues.

• Adobe is activated on Edge but still doesn't work, could this be related?

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

W10 Home 20H2 update KB4592438 Fails to Complete after 96% -0x800f0922

Windows 10 Home version 20H2 OS build 19042.630
HP Pavilion 15-cw1012na
8GB RAM
230GB free space
Kaspersky AV
No VPN running
No obvious issues with internet connection during updates

Security Update for Windows KB4592438 has been failing to complete installation configuration for the last 10 days, despite retrying after doing all the suggested remedial actions I could find in my online searches. Error code 0x800f0922.

The download and installation itself completes in Windows Update, but during the configuration phase after the PC restart I get the message "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer" This is after configuration has reached 96%.

Remedial actions have included:
Windows Update Troubleshooter
DISM and System File Checker
Resetting Windows Update components and clearing Windows/Software distribution/Downloads folder
Installing the update manually from the software catalog (failed as already noted above with 0x800f0922)

(One possible error cause suggested was that I needed to have .net 3.5 active so I tried to activate it but failed dismally. Hopefully this isn't the root cause!!)

These actions have been tried repeatedly after each failure, in different orders and I'm getting a bit desperate

Any suggestions for a solution would be gratefully received.

Thank you.
