    KB5012170 fails with the error code 0x800f0922 when you try to apply that update on a system that has secure boot turned off.

    Just my 0.02$: It's kind of ridiculous seeing these "you can try this solution or that solution" replies, even more so when the suggested solutions are basically lists of every possible way to **try** to solve anything...

    "Reset every windows component", really.

    Also: those error codes are not exactly helpful.

    This update will not install on all systems. If your firmware is one of those, MS is leaving you to resolve with your hardware manufacturer. A security update doomed to fail. I'm going to disable the update.

    This error is mentioned in the Microsoft errata for this update at

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5012170-security-update-for-secure-boot-dbx-august-9-2022-72ff5eed-25b4-47c7-be28-c42bd211bb15

    Note this paragraph, which implies there will be a fix in the future. Probably the best strategy is to just wait, based on the article above

    When attempting to install this update, it might fail to install, and you might receive Error 0x800f0922.<br><br>Note This issue only affects this security update for Secure Boot DBX (KB5012170) and does not affect the latest cumulative security updates, monthly rollups, or security-only updates released on August 9, 2022. This issue can be mitigated on some devices by updating the UEFI bios to the latest version before attempting to install this update.<br><br>We are presently investigating and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

    Maybe is because my old pc does not have TPM chip, that's why it showed "install error"?
