Error code 0x800f0922 is a common error that occurs when trying to install updates or features on Windows Server 2016. This error is usually caused by a lack of administrative privileges or a problem with the Windows Update service. Here are some steps you can take to solve this error:

  1. Run the installation as an administrator: Right-click on the installation file and select "Run as administrator". This will give you the necessary administrative privileges to complete the installation.
  2. Check the Windows Update service: Open the Services app by typing "services.msc" in the Start menu search bar. Look for the Windows Update service and make sure it is running. If it is not running, right-click on it and select "Start".
  3. Disable third-party antivirus software: Some antivirus software can interfere with the installation process. Try disabling your antivirus software temporarily and then attempt 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)". Type the following command and press Enter: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth. This will scan your system for any issues and attempt to repair them.
  5. Check your internet connection: Make sure you have a stable internet connection and that your firewall is not blocking the installation.
