Windows refuses to update - Error 0x800f0922

[grimmrace]

Windows won't update, i ran sfc as an Admin in CMD and no issues.

Adobe is activated on Edge but still doesn't work, could this be related?

System Details
Windows 10 Home 64bit
Build Version: 10586.420

You could try downloading the windows Media creation tool from here and use that to update PC (perhaps make a win 10 installer before as they always handy)

try running this in a command prompt with admin rights

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Its like a super powered version of SFC

I forgot to mention i already ran this command, i have windows 10 on a USB (D Drive).

unlikely as it is, try making a new user and see if you can update it. It seems a settings issue, not a file problem. Recent weeks I keep running into settings problems or corrupted users, maybe its just cause I had a corrupted user myself last week and I see it everywhere now.

Same problem.

Although after looking at my windows syswow64 and sys32 folders there's no trace of macromedia folder

See if second choice here helps: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/8376-microsoft-edge-adobe-flash-player-enable-disable-windows-10-a.html

Perhaps you need to do a reset. we know the image appears to be fine as DISM finds no problems, so using it to reinstall win 10 should fix this bug, but resets are a pain as they mean you have to reinstall all your programs again. If you do a reset, and have more than one hdd, copy everything you want to keep onto other drive and then d/c hdd before running reset to save it all. If left attached, the reset would wipe hdd (not sure I like that feature, it could be smarter). If all the other fixes don't work, its time for a hammer.
