Some users may encounter the 0x800f0922 update error while updating Windows. This article provides solutions to help fix the error and ensure a successful update.
1. Check for Driver Updates
Outdated or corrupted drivers can cause the 0x800f0922 update error in Windows. Checking for and updating device drivers is an important step in maintaining system stability. We recommend using Driver Sentry to automatically detect and update drivers, saving time and avoiding the risk of downloading or installing incorrect drivers.

If using Wi-Fi, you can restart your router or reconnect to the network to make sure the connection is working properly.
Open your browser and visit a website to confirm that your network is working. If you can't access any websites, it means there is a network issue, and you need to resolve that before trying the update again.
