The 0x800f0922 error often arises when attempting to install updates on Windows Server 2016, typically due to insufficient admin rights or issues with the Windows Update service. Follow these steps to address the error:

1. Elevate your installation rights: Right-click the installation file and choose 'Run as administrator' to secure the admin rights needed for the installation.
2. Verify the Windows Update service: Access the Services application by typing 'services.msc' in the Start menu search bar. Ensure the Windows Update service is active and running. If it's not, right-click to start it.
