Bootcamp Windows 10 22H2 KB5012170 Error: 0x800f0922

Hello all, I have a 2019 16" MacBook Pro running macOS Ventura 13.1 and the latest version of Bootcamp according to Apple Software Update. Recently I noticed that when attempting to install the Windows 10 22H2 update, I keep getting an error with code 0x800f0922. According to my research this error usually comes from not having enough space on your System Recovery Partition (Closest thing to that I can see is a 300MB EFI Partition), a corrupted component of Windows update (I've ran the troubleshooter, sfc/scannow, and DISM tools to clean up any potential errors), or a connection issue like a VPN or firewall blocking communication to the update servers (ruled out by testing known good networks and the issue still happens).


At this point, I'm left with two avenues:

  1. Expand the EFI partition from 300MB to 500MB using a 3rd party tool, hope nothing breaks, and see if that fixes it.
  2. Wait for Apple to roll out a fix (not likely) for this issue seeing as a similar issue has occurred with Parallels VM users, and the issue seemed to be TPM related. Seeing as Intel Macs have no TPM of any kind, there is not likely to be a fix.

Parallels VM thread: https://forum.parallels.com/threads/failed-to-install-windows-update-kb5012170.358161/


If any of you have ran into this issue, let me know of any potential fix. I mainly use Bootcamp to play games when traveling. Not being able to update to the KB5012170 update is not important, but if Apple is going to support Macs that can run Bootcamp, Bootcamp should work correctly (if this is indeed the problem and not something else).

I have the exact same problem when trying to update Windows 10 on an iMac 5k 2020 with Boot Camp.

I think it is important to install every security updates to maintain a stable and secured OS.


Apple needs to make a patch or any other solution so users are not struck here.


Please Apple, come forward we need your help here.....
