Windows update to 1909 failing 0x800f0922

Hi everyone, So i've been unable to get past 1903 because the 1909 update keeps failing. I've done a lot of research on this error and it seems 0x800f0922 has to do with the EFI partition or system reserved partition not having 500mb? I was going to try to get into safe mode but my advanced boot menu only has the option UEFI bios. My msconfig also has nothing in the boot tab. I think this issue has to do with the updates. I've transfered over to a different ssd a while ago and I just switched from a 4690k to a 5600x. I've tried deleting all windows update files and trying again and uninstalling a couple and nothing is working. After restarting for the update it gets to 99% then says couldn't complete update reverting changes, then reboots twice and back into windows. I saw another post on here where someone also had nothing in the msconfig boot tab and they did some stuff with diskpart but obviously their partition numbers weren't the same and I couldn't quite figure out how they did it. Here is the post that had that: My MSconfig boot tab is empty, and I can't fix it

My next attempt was going to be running sysprep to delete all of the old driver stuff but now that i've figured out what this error code is I probably won't do that and now i need help. Thanks!
I've sent a screenshot of my update history.

Please post a screenshot of your partitions using a 3rd party partition manager, e.g. Minitool Partition Wizard, not Disk Management, ensuring all text in all columns is visible.

Also run Setupdiag.exe (free from MS) and post the outcome.

Is there a particular reason you are upgrading to 1909, which will reach end of service life around May?



This is unclear. Do you perhaps mean your Advanced Startup options?
If you don't have the usual set of options, your Recovery partition may be missing or not enabled or selected correctly. This may also be related to your upgrade failure.

Post the result of
reagentc /info
from an admin command prompt. It should show it is enabled.

Yes my advanced startup options only has the option to go to my bios. I think it does have something to do with my recovery partition being messed up. Here is a screenshot of my partitions. I just wanted to update because that is what's available and I'd like to use all the new features, and because sometimes when i try to restart it forces updates and I have to wait 10 minutes for it to try again and fail. I have been trying to get to 20h2 but that is failing with the same error, which is why im stuck on 1903. I'll send another response after i've run all the .bat files everyone has sent.

reagentc /info says disabled when ran through admin command prompt. Here is the output file of setupdiag.exe too.

Hi, from what I can see it looks like you don't have a Recovery partition at all, and there's no room to create one. Further, C: has a partition after it- a new Recovery partition would typically be created there.

The problem with your disk partition layout seems to be confirmed by Setupdiag.exe


Further, none of your partitions is designated as Active - compare:



Please confirm yours is meant to be a UEFI installation, and advise what might have led to this.

This is a UEFI install. It used to be a legacy and i've switched drives multiple times which is probably why everything is messed up. Can i just shrink my c drive a little and make a recovery partition?

Thank you very much for your reply.



People have posted ways of recreating the recovery partition on tenforums- I think I saw a couple of ways posted perhaps 2-3 months ago. I have rebuilt one by hand from scratch as an experiment, but do not recommend that. E.g. discussion:
How to recreate the Windows recovery partition.
https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/171789-help-me-restore-default-files-recovery-partition.html

The normal recommendation would be to perform an in-place upgrade repair install (of the same build) which keeps all progs and settings.

You would need to create space- allow, say, 1Gb.

However you also have the problem that you don't have an active partition on your disk, so you need to deal with that too.

A screenshot of the reagentc /info command would be useful to show to which partition that is pointing.

Ok so how should I go about doing all of this? I'll shrink my c drive by 1gb right now so there's room for a recovery partition. I don't think i've tried an in place upgrade and i don't really know what that is but I've tried manually running the 1909 update from a download through microsoft.
