Solved Cannot Update after Upgrade [Error 800F0922]

I just upgraded from Win 7 to Win 8.1, however I am unable to update. I got this same error when I had Windows 7, basically revolving around two updates which I just ignored since I knew I was upgrading soon.

I've checked around online and none of the common solutions I've found seem to help. Also it's extremely irritating to tackle granularly since every time I try to install an update, it fails and then asks me to restart. There might be a way around that, not sure since I am new to this version of the OS.

Any advice on how to handle this? I have a huge number of updates from the fresh upgrade but none of them will go which is problematic.

Edit: I also can't install certain programs. So far it's been Open Office, Panda Antivirus and 7Zip. I've installed quite a few other programs with no issues at all. Not sure if it's related but seemed worth mentioning.

Hello PrinceofExcess

According to this site Error: 0x800F0922 when installing KB 2919355 - Microsoft Community
lots of dissatisfied Microsoft customers people have this issue.

Found this somewhere, don't know if it applies on your system:

If you receive an error message while trying to run a Microsoft Security Update, (KB2920189) for Windows 2012 (R2) with the code: 800F0922, this is caused by a Secure Boot conflict.


To correct this: AS ADMINISTRATOR


1. Reboot the machine into the BIOS, (usually by pressing F2 repeatedly on restart.)


2. Once in the BIOS, locate the BOOT options and DISABLE SECURE BOOT.


3. Save and exit the configuration changes and boot into the OS normally.


4. Run the update. It should be successful.


5. Reboot the system back into the BIOS screen.


6. In the BOOT options, re-enable SAFE BOOT, save configurations changes and restart machine booting into the OS as normal.

I was having other issues so I actually did a completely fresh install after wiping the HD. That fixed all the issues I was experiencing.

Thank you for the reply though. :]
