    Type 0x800f0922 into Search Thread. Don't use Advanced Search (this will search the entire MDL Site).

    The easy fix for 0x800f0922 DISM failed, is to run the uninstaller from the alternative branch v8.8.1 ,,,,, then install v8.8.1 ,,,,, Read Readme.txt for instructions.

    Page 1 of this thread answers your "other questions".

    Searching didn't help me to understand why I was getting that error but I uninstalled the alternative package and tried again v12. It installed without errors this time but when I started the app it never opened like as it happened yesterday all day. I don't know what's the problem and no one in this thread knows as I understand. Then I removed v12 and installed v8.8.1 which works like a charm.

    It turns out that KB4013429 is causing problems for other software too. Microsoft really messed up.

    I can't post a link to a news story because of the wanna be Nazi's running this site, but Google "More Issues Said to Be Caused by Windows 10 Cumulative Update KB4013429" to learn more.

    Obviously you broke WMC while trying to fix the problem detailed in Post #7944. There is really no more to understand. I could tell you how to fix a broken v12 manually but that would be a waste of your time as well as mine, since the "FIX" is in using the uninstaller in v8.8.1 which is the newer version. Had you read the contents of Page 1, specifically, the Release History, you would know that v8.8.1 is the latest version.

    If you go to kb4013429 and scroll to down Known Issues it now says:

    Windows DVD Player (and 3rd party apps that use Microsoft MPEG-2 libraries) crashes when run.
    This issue is currently being addressed and a fix will be provided when ready.

    Thanks for this script @Grisu_1968

    I ran it but I can see a couple of issues with it:
    Users with an English language system will need to change each occurrence of administratoren to administrators. IDK about other languages.
    Anything in the temp folder used will get deleted when this is run. Normally there won't be anything you want to keep in there but it is probably best to check first.
    Finally, as per my last post, the old (version 10.0.14393.0) files stored in my winsxs folders have mysteriously shrunk from 38kb and 33kb to 5kb and 4.4kb and they don't work any more (this wasn't an issue for me because I made a backup of the old files as soon as the resolution to this problem was highlighted by @Darkradeon). Thanks go to him for that.

    MS just released kb4015438, it's a new Cumulative Update for Windows 10 14393, to build .969 . It corrects those bugs:
    Addressed a known issue with KB4013429 that caused Windows DVD Player (and 3rd party apps that use Microsoft MPEG-2 handling libraries) to crash.
    Addressed a known issue with KB4013429, that some customers using Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 1607 Client with Switch Embedded Teaming (SET) enabled might experience a deadlock or when changing the physical adapter’s link speed property. This issue is most commonly seen as a DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION or when verifier is enabled a VRF_STACKPTR_ERROR is seen in the Memory dump.

    As we can see, also decoder bug. Let's pray they didn't mess up anything else.

    This update, KB4015438, has fixed the WMC crashing problem in my systems resulting from KB4013429.

    It replaces CompPkgSup.dll with a newer version, 10.0.14393.969 in both System32 and SysWOW64 folders.

    I can confirm that MCE is running again on Windows 14393.969. Don´t know why, but works.
    Tuner and LIVETV o.k. The prog wants to update PlayReady but fails > doesn´t matter.
    If you want to know, which version of MCE I use (v12 or v8.8.1)> let me know, how to figure that out!!! I don´t now myself which version I installed.:confused:

    furthermore: today I made a new installation on Windows 10 14393.969 with WMC v.8.8.1.
    works out-of-the-box! except:playReady.
    My tuner works. Can watch TV again on Windows 10:mushy:
    Has anyone an idea for the PlayReady thing? Can I download it elsewhere (Up-to-date??!!) and install?
    Don´t know what is it good for, but I wan´t to give it a chance
