How to resolve error code 0x800f0922: Windows update failure in Windows 8

Here are several steps you can follow to resolve the error code 0x800f0922 when a Windows update fails in Windows 8:

1. Verify your internet connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable and robust enough to download and install updates.
2. Turn off antivirus software: Sometimes, antivirus programs can disrupt the Windows update process. Temporarily disable your antivirus software and then try updating Windows again.
3. Use the Windows Update troubleshooter: Windows includes a built-in troubleshooter to help identify and resolve issues with Windows Update. To run the troubleshooter, navigate to Control Panel > Troubleshooting > System and Security > Fix problems with Windows Update.
4. Clear the Windows Update cache: Occasionally, the Windows Update cache may become corrupted and cause update issues. To clear the cache, open Command Prompt as an administrator and enter these commands:

 net stop wuauserv
 net stop cryptSvc
 net stop bits
 net stop msiserver
 ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
 ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old
 net start wuauserv
 net start cryptSvc
 net start bits
 net start msiserver

5. Manually install updates: If other methods fail, you can download and install updates manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog website. This might be time-consuming but necessary if other solutions don’t work.
