Microsoft has updated its Windows Health Dashboard documentation with a new known issue affecting all supported Windows versions from 8.1 to 11 (client and server). According to the company's findings, Windows has a hard time installing the Security update for Secure Boot DBX (KB5012170). An attempt to apply the update results in Windows Update throwing the 0x800f0922 error code.

It is worth noting that the problem affects only the Security update for Secure Boot DBX. The latest cumulative security updates, monthly rollups, and feature changes released on August 9, 2022, should apply without problems. You can check what is new in the August 2022 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows 8.1 in our dedicated articles.

Interesting... I run Windows 11 with Secure Boot enabled and encountered that error when recently executing Windows updates. After it initially failed when attempted simultaneously with the other updates I simply retried the installation on its own and it was successful.

Updating UEFI is very easy compared to BIOS in the past. Even if there is no problem, I think there is no loss in updating.

I experienced the same thing. It failed a couple of times and then it worked.

Is pretty much the same, unless you doing it through the OS which I don't recommend.

Then there is the tripping of BitLocker recovery, which is not currently listed as a known issue. The problem occurs on boot, and bring up the BitLocker Recovery screen into which a user is supposed to enter a key. The depressingly familiar groundswell of grumbling has got under way as a few users have found themselves with unbootable computers unless they can provide the magic key.

Microsoft Secure Boot fix sends PCs into BitLocker Recovery

Have your BitLocker key handy when updating, but maybe not on a Post-it stuck to the screen, OK?

When people with low IT knowledge try to update the UEFI, settings are reset and need to be properly Setup to boot into an encrypted system.

This has nothing to do with Microsoft, is good they even acknowledge this at the end of the article.
