    Do you mean you tried what I said? After completing the cleanup do your Windows update check and try to install your updates again.

    P.S: Don't forget to restart your system after the cleanup is complete.

    Nope, I meant I use a clean system always.
    Before I do anything I clean my system, so I can not figure out why I am getting error 0x800F0922.

    I think it's very annoying, especially if you are using SSD as your system drive. Every month you have to install a huge chunk of updates and all these eat up the SSD space fairly quickly.
    I don't understand why MS would do this. Why not intergrate all these new features into a brandnew iso and ship it to the customers? That way, if the customers need the new feature they can update via the ISO, or if they don't need the new feature, they just use their original Office. I don't see any good reason why these huge update files, other than security patches, to be pushed to every customer every single month.
    Is MS fxxking out of their mind? Stupid MS!
    If I ever find a way to not use MS office and some other Windows only applications, I will use Linux all the time.

    After the updates you can do dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
    This removes all redundant things but makes it unable to remove the updates.
    I always do this and never had problems with it, so you may try the same if you want.
    And there's also disk cleanup of course.

    You can also do it without the /resetbase part and it will just remove the superseded updates.
    An alternative is to use cleanmgr.exe as admin which will just compress the old backup files.

    I suppose cleanmgr.exe is the executable for disk clean up tool?

    And yes I did use the dism command before - it;s a bit time consuming although it can remove quite some old files.

    I remember them mentioning working on it, but I don't remember them saying it would be back in the next update.
    Anyway, this month is more of a big rollup rather than a full update like 2919355 was.

    They never said next update, just "in a free update".

    Needless to say it was probably planned for Update 2 but postponded to W9 for various reasons (more features for W9, re-designed Charms to fit the Windowed apps, improved UI framework to allow more flexible resizing etc)

    Also if you look at where Microsoft has to compete with, Windows 9 has to be a free upgrade or it will be the only consumer OS on our planet that has a upgrade cost :rolleyes:

    Chrome OS, Android, iOS, OSX, Ubuntu (and the rest of the linux distros) and Windows Phone all come with free upgrades, a bit hard to ask consumers to pay a fee to enjoy something you get for free on any other competing platform also it will just rub people the wrong way as Windows 9 should hopefully bring much needed changes to Windows that W8 didn't bring but people had to pay for anyway.

    Microsoft start now new updates ===> Joke Update is just update the Windows Explorer (you can check in your local disk probably C ; Windows and explorer).

    In 2015 Microsoft start seriously update ==> Return the new start menu and you can run modern ui applications in desktop mode.

    With Microsoft Windows 8.1 gives half of Windows 7 (boot desktop ) :joystick:

    And Windows 9 is good Windows because is just Windows 7 updated with service pack 2
    Microsoft has created a hybrid bones are not going for desktops. It's as if they used a leash cat with a dog.

    Windows 9 will be good, but Windows 10 will probably be a return to MS-DOS (I mean the GUI).
