“PrintNightmare” KB5004945 update fails with error 0x800f0922

[MadDogDean]

Hello all,

Hoping for an easy solution. I'm just a regular user, with a single computer, no network drives, no servers, no VPN, nothing crazy. Just a single laptop running, unfortunately, Win10.

Trying to apply the aforementioned update KB5004945 fails on the system.

This is a new (2 month old) Asus, updated to Windows 10, version 21H1. After the system arrived, the SSD was upgraded and a completely clean install from a Windows ISO, not a mfg system image, was done.

The last 3 days, I have tried to Apply the downloaded update and the process seems to go through as required, but then it fails and uninstalls. Screenshot attached.

Any thoughts how I can get this to install?

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?

Hello everyone.

It now recommends downloading and installing Update KB5004237 this fix should fix previous problems - good luck!
