“PrintNightmare” KB5004945 update fails with error 0x800f0922
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.

Hi, you can also take such steps.
And what build do you currently have for Windows?
I agree ... BUT: this update was strongly recommended by MS because of security issues ...
For this reason I invested much time as well as MadDogDean to find a solution for this problem. Unfortunately all the entries of failed updates for KB5004945 are deleted in between and I cannot show them as a screenshot ... I assume, there were more than 30, as I tried under several conditions including the exchange of hardware and software components. And my recommendation above was the one that finally worked for _my_ computing environment.
Deleted --> I do not understand that you recommend to wait and struggle with w11 ... 🙂
I am sorry for you, but your comments are not really helpful and it only looks like "gathering of entries". So, do you have any real suggestions to solve the problem(s) ?This is the solution that is already available! for this reason I offered to wait - but everything explained!

I think it will be helpful - Good luck Andrew
I already have/had tried all of these hints - without bringing a solution to my problem ...
But thanks for trying to help me find out. Just activating the services I mentioned before did help.
I have this update on several computers the first time!
If I had 30 times the occurrence and download the update i would do a clean installation and the computer would be like new!
But the author of the post clearly claimed to be a home user and is with updates
on an ongoing basis.
Feel like to help other users!
