How to solve the error code 0x800f0926: Windows Update failed to install updates in Windows Server 2008

There are several steps you can take to solve the error code 0x800f0926 when Windows Update fails to install updates in Windows Server 2008:

  1. Check your internet connection: Make sure your internet connection is stable and working properly. If there is an issue with your internet connection, Windows Update may not be able to download and install updates.
  2. Run the Windows Update troubleshooter: Windows Server 2008 has a built-in troubleshooter that can help diagnose and fix issues with Windows Update. To run the troubleshooter, go to Control Panel > System and Security > Troubleshoot common computer problems > Fix problems with Windows Update.
  3. Check your disk space: Make sure you have enough free disk space on your server to install updates. If your disk is full, Windows Update may not be able to download and install updates.
  4. Disable antivirus software: Sometimes antivirus software can interfere with Windows Update. Try disabling your antivirus software temporarily and see if that resolves the issue.
  5. Install updates manually: If Windows Update continues to fail, you can try downloading and installing updates manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog. This can be a time-consuming process, but it may be necessary if Windows Update is not working properly.
