Windows 10: How I fixed 0x800f0922 looping cancelled windows 10 auto-update with KB4551762, KB4540673...

Because it's a community I guess sending solutions is as good as asking questions ? sorry for my bad syntax, not my mother language


First 0x800f0922 can have multiple causes, but since I will provide my checking process maybe you'll find your cause the same way.

All KB4551762, KB4540673 and KB4535696 failed with the same error 0x800f0922 and a rollback occured.


Immediately after the last failure, I placed myself into windows folder with the explorer and typed cbs.log in the search


Windows did find the file located in C:\WINDOWS\Logs\CBS and I opened it with notepad

and started earching for the word "fail" and "0x800f0922" ... who had hundreds of occurences inside.


notably I found these quotes :

Failed during startup processing, continuing with Trusted Installer execution [HRESULT = 0x800f0922]

Session status queried: Current Phase: 1, Last SuccessfulState: Startup, Completed: 1, Status: 0x800f0922

Trusted Installer is shutting down because: SHUTDOWN_REASON_AUTOSTOP

Startup: Failed to process advanced operation queue, startupPhase: 0. A rollback transaction will be created. [HRESULT = 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED]

Setting original failure status: 0x800f0922, last forward execute state: CbsExecuteStateResolvePending

Startup processing completed. [HRESULT = 0x800f0922]


But this message was interresting

000006cd F Failed execution of queue item Installer: Counters Installer {b1498a21-0405-4959-adaa-7e78686acfbe} with HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32ERROR_INVALID_DATA. Failure will not be ignored: A rollback will be initiated after all the operations in the installer queue are completed; installer is reliable[gle=0x80004005]

Many messages were marked as "ignored" but this one about performance counter installer was marked as "Failure will not be ignored" !!!!


I scrolled down and found these quotes :

000006c1 F PerfCounterInstaller Error: LastCounter and LastHelp are inconsistent 8964,9171.

000006c2 F PerfCounterInstaller Error: Counter database is corrupted, run 'lodctr /R' to fix it.


AHHHAAA ! I opened start menu with right click, and run powershell in admin mode and typed the command suggeted by windows himself : lodctr /R

it took about 2 seconds, and windows responded "Performance counters repaired"


I rebooted and TADAAAAAA .... no more install loop and rollback, everything installed fine.

I you have update problems I suggest to dig like me in this file. Windows 10 has integrated tools to check windows update but most of the time they are completely dumb and won't find the problem, or do stupid useless operations. But Windows knows how to fix it, and just Want's you to play "search and dig" game into his logs ... where he writes the solution hidden deep inside :


Counters Installer {b1498a21-0405-4959-adaa-7e78686acfbe} with HRESULT HRESULT_FROM_WIN32ERROR_INVALID_DATA. Failure will not be ignored: A rollback will be initiated after all the operations in the installer queue are completed +

000006c2 F PerfCounterInstaller Error: Counter database is corrupted, run 'lodctr /R' to fix it.


have fun ! It's aN ESCAPE GAME ! Find the clue ! exit the locked reboot loop 0x800f0922 ! :-

Upgrade to 1903 version

Exceptionally, MS have issued an out of band security updated since that Patch Tuesday update.

KB4551762 CU Win 10 v1903 build 18362.720 and v1909 build 18363.720

KB4551762 contains all the security fixes and patches that were in KB4540673 so there is no point in installing KB4540673 first.

 

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?
