0x800F0922 - Update failed
A Windows update or feature installation could not complete due to a servicing or connectivity requirement.
OS-level errors for updates, installation, boot, and runtime failures, including common hexadecimal codes.
Operating system errors commonly appear as hexadecimal codes, update/installer identifiers, or short “status” messages shown by the OS, an installer, or a built-in troubleshooting tool. These identifiers often describe a failure class (permissions, missing files, component store issues) rather than a single cause.
This hub groups OS-level codes into a stable reference so you can identify what layer is failing and which checks are safest to try first. Pages favor conservative steps and point you back to logs and official repair paths when the code is too broad.
A Windows update or feature installation could not complete due to a servicing or connectivity requirement.
A Windows network request timed out before it could complete.
Windows could not establish a connection to the required service endpoint.
A Windows operation exceeded its allowed time limit and timed out.
Windows reported an input/output error while reading from or writing to a device.
A required file could not be read because it is corrupted or inconsistent.
A Windows installer or update component reported a fatal error and could not complete the install.
Windows Update determined an update or component does not apply to the current system state.
A Windows upgrade failed and rolled back, commonly when a driver causes a compatibility or stability problem.
A Windows feature update failed due to a prerequisite, compatibility, or download/servicing issue.
A repair or update operation could not locate the required source components.
A generic failure occurred and the system did not expose a specific reason.
A required file could not be located at the expected path.
A required directory or path was missing or not reachable.
An OS access control check blocked the requested operation.
An operation failed because an input value was invalid for the requested action.
A required component or referenced item was not found in the expected state.
A servicing operation failed because required system components were missing or inconsistent.

Start by identifying where the code appears:
If the code is hexadecimal (0x…), treat it as an OS result code first. Verify the scenario (update, install, boot, app launch), then apply basic checks: restart, confirm storage space, verify time/date, and review the relevant system logs.
Not always, but many commonly searched 0x… codes are Windows result codes. The page content will specify when a code is strongly associated with a particular platform.
Update failures are often persistent when cached components are corrupted or dependencies are missing. Pages focus on safe checks and high-level remediation paths rather than risky fixes.
No. This site avoids irreversible steps. Use built-in repair tools and official documentation when deeper changes are required.
Apps often surface OS errors as-is. Use the “Where you usually see this” section to confirm whether the OS layer is the likely source.
Only when the specific identifier is well-documented. If a STOP code is ambiguous, it is omitted until it can be verified.
Confirm the exact operation that fails (update, install, launch), capture the full code string, and check the nearest relevant log source.
