    It does look that all supported Windows versions are affected & addressed - except 1909? Nice.

    I am also on 1909, and also got KB4524244. I think is probable that most people are getting it, despite the absence of the name 1909 in the KB title.

    This page doesn't mention Version 1909 and it's not being offered on Build 18363.628 which is now downloading Build 18363.657.

    EDIT: after some searching I found both editions on WU but they were well hidden in the list.

    In attempting to install this update, I get the following error:

    Last failed install attempt on ‎2/‎12/‎2020 - 0x800f0922

    I've retried several times, tried sfc and dism, still no joy. Any ideas?

    Looks like if you want it get it separately do it before doing the Patch Tuesday update, told me I already had it when run by itself after the update.

    Tech Support: Windows 10 Update with Error Code 0x800F0922 – EaseUS

    My bet taking into account what this update does is on this scenario in your case:

    1. Low System Reserved partition space

    When there is not enough free space for the system reserved partition, the computer will not be able to load new Windows 10 installation files with an error code such as 0x800F0922.
