Error code 0x800f0922 is a typical issue that arises when attempting to install updates or features on Windows Server 2016. This error generally stems from a lack of admin rights or a problem with the Windows Update service. Here's how you can address this error:

  1. Run the installation as an administrator: Right-click on the installation file and choose 'Run as administrator'. This provides you with the required admin rights to finish the installation.
  2. Check the Windows Update service: Launch the Services app by typing 'services.msc' in the Start menu search bar. Locate the Windows Update service and ensure it is active. If it is not, right-click and select 'Start'.
  3. Disable third-party antivirus software: Some antivirus software may disrupt the installation process. Try turning off your antivirus temporarily, then try the installation again.
  4. Use the DISM tool: Open an elevated Command Prompt by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. Enter the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. This will scan your system for any problems and attempt repairs.
  5. Check your internet connection: Ensure you have a reliable internet connection and that your firewall isn't blocking the installation.
