Undoing changes. Don't turn off your computer.

Error code: 0x800f0922

    And a fighting game wont start without TPM 2.0 enabled. Im not super techniacl. Where do i begin??

    Any step-by-step help is appreciated. Ill report back with teh results of whatever you suggest.

    i really dont want to reinstall Windows just to play one game. if theres a way to fix teh update properly, please let me know.

    ok so if the game needs TPM 2.0 or Secure Boot, those are BIOS settings, not Windows updates. Look for fTPM (AMD) or PTT (Intel) and Secure Boot in ur BIOS. Check tpm.msc and System Information > Secure Boot State to confirm. lmk how it goes

    error 0x800f0922 often points to the system reserved partition being too small or a connection problem during teh update... disconnect VPNs and check free space on teh small system partitions in Disk Management.

    been there man disable third-party antivirus temporarily during the update. some security tools block parts of teh update process.

    @abecker-3t0 works on paper, not in real life... make a backup before u touch the cache, learned that the hard way

    been there man as a bigger hammer, use Microsofts official installation assistant or media creation tool to do an in-place upgrade 👍 It keeps your files and apps and often succeeds where Windows Update fails.

    hmmm use Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters > Windows Update. it resets updtae components that are stuck.
