“PrintNightmare” KB5004945 update fails with error 0x800f0922
Hi,
I ran into the same problem, trying nearly everything I found in the internet (without another result) ...
This morning I found on "deskmodder.de" a hint that worked: two of the services on my computer were deactivated 😞
In German the names are "App-Vorbereitung" and "AppX-Bereitstellungsdienst" - these should be "AppReadiness" and "AppSVC" in English. After setting the start type to "manually" for both and starting them ... the update with KB5004945 was successfully finished 🙂
I hope, this works for you as well !
DrudelThat didn't work for me. Both services were already set to Manual and started. I even downloaded the MSU. The update installs fine but after the restart, Windows would say the changes couldn't be applied and were undoing it. Of course after I restarted, the update downloads again and pending another restart. I made sure I had all the prerequisites installed so it looks like there is something this cumulative update is looking for to be installed first or the update is targeted at specific configurations and MS forgot to omit that part for other users.
Perfect - often you shouldn't really work out with the latest updates!
it is worth waiting!- I didn't postpone updates but rather re-scheduled it for later. This way I can get other updates that do not require KB5004945 as a pre-req. I am okay with waiting as I do not have any connected printers that could be affected by this update.
Thanks, successful updated!
I have only "AppReadiness" service turned off, after i temporarily turned on this service, update was finished without error.P.S. Before that fix, i have ~5 days crashes of this updated, but hands were out of reach to fix it :))
