What is the cause of error 800f0922 in Windows 10

After examining this error code, it turns out that several different potential culprits can cause this problem. Here is a shortlist of scenarios where error code 800f0922 is found:

• Common WU fault: In most cases, this problem is due to a common error that Microsoft already knows about. In this case, running the Windows Update diagnostic tool should be enough to automatically fix the problem. If that doesn’t work, there are third-party alternatives you may want to consider.
• WU process stuck in limbo: In some cases, you can expect to see this error code because one or more critical WU services are stuck in limbo. In this case, you need to reset all Windows Update components to resolve the problem.
• Missing error KB2919355 in Windows 8.1: If you see this error in Windows 8.1, it is most likely because you missed an important update, which is a prerequisite for the update you are trying to install when the error occurs. You can most likely solve this problem by installing update KB2919355 through the Microsoft Update Catalog.
• Frame conflict: If you are dealing with a .NET frame conflict (this error appears when you try to install a new frame), you should be able to resolve the problem by disabling all previously installed NET frames before completing the Windows Update installation.
• Windows 10 installation skips Creators Update: If you see this error on Windows 10, one of the most common reasons is that you are trying to install the Creators Update framework when there is no Creators Update. In this case, you can use the update wizard to install Creators Update and fix the problem.
• Damaged files in the Temp folder: it is found that damaged files in the Temp folder may also be responsible for this error code. In this case, you can easily fix the problem by deleting the Temp folder with the Disk Cleanup utility.
• Corrupted .CBS log files: According to dozens of affected users, this error code can also appear if your CBS folder contains corrupted .cab or .log files. To resolve this issue, simply delete the folder and run the DISM command to restore the folder.
• Conflict with Secure Boot: It turns out that this problem can also be caused by a conflict between the update you are trying to install and the Secure Boot feature applied in the BIOS or UEFI settings. In this case, you can avoid the error code by disabling Secure Boot before attempting to install the update.
