Hi

Not a tech savvy person. Keep getting the above error on this update. I have checked my EFI with DiskGenius and have 147MB free. Have tried DISM restorehealth and sfc/ scannow.

Here is my CBS log: https://gofile.io/d/a063a8c9-5a98-482e-9ff0-1be4b6ec4552

Regards

Chris

Thanks. 10 minutes into the process of doing this. Progress bar is barely moving after speeding along to about 60% - looks like it could take hours.

Hi Chris,

Typically, it takes 5-10 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet.

My internet went down to almost zero, then cut out for a few minutes. Only happens once or twice a year. I managed to reconnect and do it eventually, and the change was confirmed, but the update failed with the usual 0x800f0922 error.

Chris,

Let's check whether the .NET Framework 3.5 is installed correctly.

Run this command again from Command Prompt admin.

dism /online /get-capabilities /format:table

Copy the output to a text file and upload it.

Hi Ramesh. What is this please? What does it do? I don't generally run unknown software on my PC.
Ramesh Srinivasan 88,880 Reputation points Independent Advisor

2026-10-15T03:10:30.9433333+00:00

It restores a registry key that's missing from your system.

You can open fix.reg in Notepad to see the exact registry key it adds. It's a plain-text file.

What does the registry key do?
Ramesh Srinivasan 88,880 Reputation points Independent Advisor

2026-10-15T03:22:11.0966667+00:00

It's a .NET Framework-related registry key that exists by default in Windows. Since it's missing. the update is rolling back. The purpose of the registry keys is not documented by Microsoft, but I have verified that the key exists in all of my systems (both Windows 10 and 11)

Ok. No problem, Chris.

By the way, here's a screenshot of that registry branch:

If you're concerned, you can create a System Restore Point before applying it.
Ramesh Srinivasan 88,880 Reputation points Independent Advisor

As an alternative, a repair installation will automatically restore that key and any other missing keys.

Please see Fix issues by reinstalling the current version of Windows | Microsoft Support. Your apps, files, and settings, will be kept by default during the repair installation.

Hi Chris,

Don't worry about not being too tech-savvy! You have already done some great troubleshooting by checking the EFI partition and running the SFC/DISM scans.

Error 0x800f0922 specifically with .NET Framework updates usually happens when the base .NET features in Windows are disabled or the Windows Update cache is stuck. Let's try these simple steps to fix it:

Method 1: Turn on .NET Framework Features Sometimes the update fails because the feature it's trying to update is turned off.

Press the Windows Key, type Windows Features, and select "Turn Windows features on or off" from the search results.

In the window that opens, look at the very top of the list for .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) and .NET Framework 4.8 Advanced Services.

Make sure the boxes next to both of them are checked (filled with a black square or checkmark).

If they are already checked, uncheck them, click OK, restart your PC, and then go back and check them again to force Windows to refresh the files.

Click OK and let Windows download any required files. Then try updating again.

Method 2: Manually install the update Since Windows Update is struggling, installing the update directly often bypasses the error.

Go to the official Microsoft Update Catalog website: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/

In the search bar at the top right, type the update number: KB5127694 and hit Search.

Find the exact version for Windows 11 matching your system type (usually "x64-based Systems").

Click the Download button on the right.

A new small window will pop up with a blue link ending in .msu. Click that link to download the file.

Once downloaded, double-click the file to install it manually. Restart your computer if prompted.

Give Method 1 a try first, and if it still gives you the error, Method 2 should push the update through. Let me know how it goes!

Hi Baraniwala,

Neither of these methods worked - both gave 0x800f0922.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for giving those steps a try and getting back to me! Since both methods still triggered the 0x800f0922 error, it means the issue is a bit more stubborn, and we need to dig into your system logs to find the exact roadblock.

As Ramesh mentioned in his reply, the GoFile link you provided for your CBS log is unfortunately not accessible.

Could you please upload that CBS log file to a more accessible cloud service like OneDrive or Google Drive?

Upload the file.

Generate a "Share" link (make sure the permission is set to "Anyone with the link can view").

Paste that new link right here in a reply.

Once we can read that log file, we will be able to see the exact line of code or missing file that is causing the update to fail. Don't worry, we will help you get this sorted out!

I did post that for Ramesh - here's the log from a few hours ago: https://1drv.ms/t/c/e093f08b3e7862c6/IQC2F60LwB9sSLwMQfWTXbCbASTnkGF7KxidRuDJXYnEupE?e=ixGaOS

Hi Chris,

The output you provided reveals the exact root cause of the update failure: the .NET Framework 3.5 (NetFX3) capability is listed as Not Present on your system.

Because the core base files for this framework are entirely missing from your local Windows installation, the Windows Update engine crashes with the 0x800f0922 error when it attempts to apply the KB5127694 security patch to a feature that isn't there.

To fix this, we need to force Windows to download and reinstall those missing base files directly from Microsoft's servers.

How to restore the missing .NET files:

Open your Command Prompt exactly as you did before (ensure you run it as Administrator).

Copy and paste the following command, then press Enter: DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:NetFX3~~~~

Wait for the progress bar to reach 100% and display "The operation completed successfully."

Restart your computer.

Go to Windows Update and run the check again to install the KB5127694 update.

By restoring the missing NetFX3 capability, the security patch will finally have the foundation it needs to install correctly. Let me know if the command completes successfully!

Hi Baraniwala, thanks for trying but unfortunately that failed. Here is the updated log: https://1drv.ms/u/c/e093f08b3e7862c6/IQBBffdhYy_ZSZeHiN5CBi-1ATf3hyt-dX1NSqPB4mDN3HQ?e=qENXCe
