Windows update is failing to update my pc. The update troubleshooter does not detect any issues. From the CBS logs the issue code appears to be 0x800f0922 - CBS_E_INSTALLERS_FAILED. Below is the CBS log: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tQUWHDm9sXatny-BT8WdrYjWiCgpfU8O/view?usp=sharing Any help would be well appreciated. I have tried to follow the guides below with no success but it is possible I did not do the correct steps or they don't apply in this case: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-server/deployment/error-0x800f0922-installing-windows-updates |net stop bits| | -------- | |net stop wuauserv| |ren %systemroot%\softwaredistribution softwaredistribution.bak| |ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak| |net start bits| |net start wuauserv|

    Hi Liam.

    Thanks for your post. Error code 0x800f0922 in Windows 10 and 11 indicates that there's a problem updating or upgrading your Windows system. There is no single reason for this — the error message may indicate corrupt installation files, inaccessible Windows servers, insufficient disk space or malware.Kindly try the following methods to repair the system and do the update again.

    Method 1: Run the SFC.

    Follow the below steps:

    1. Open Command Prompt.
    2. Select “Run as Administrator”.
    3. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter.
      Now check for the issue.

    Method 2: Run the DISM Tool.

    If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files.

    1. Click on 'Start'.
    2. Enter 'Command prompt' in the Search box.
    3. In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click 'Run as administrator'.
    4. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

    Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

    Method 3:

    Type the following in a Windows PowerShell as Administrator:

    1.Launch PowerShell
    2.Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
    3.Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue

    Hi Liam, Issue reported: Windows Update error: 0x800F0922. This error might mean that your PC couldn't connect to the Windows Update servers. If you're using a VPN connection to connect to a work network, disconnect from the network and turn off the VPN software (if applicable) and try upgrading again. The error could also mean there isn't enough free space in the System Reserved partition. You might be able to fix this problem by using third-party software to increase the size of the System Reserved partition. Please refer an article mentioned below and follow the troubleshooting accordingly.
