Getting a 0x800f0906 error when you’re trying to use the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool’s restore health function happens for users with the KB3022345 update, due to a bug that is well known to Microsoft, and allegedly fixed in later updates.
The KB3022345 update broke both DISM and SFC for users of Windows, causing them to give this kind of errors all the time when you try to use them. Solving this issue is as easy as uninstalling the update, so read on to see how you can do this in a fairly simple way, and use DISM and SFC again when you need them.
Uninstall the KB3022345 update
- Press the Windows key on your keyboard to open the Start menu, and either click Control Panel, or type in Control Panel and open the result, depending on which version of Windows you’re using.
- Switch to Icons view, in the top right corner of Control Panel, and open Programs and Features from the list.
- On the left side, click on the View installed updates
- You will see a search box in the top right corner, type KB3022345 to find the update with less effort.
- When you’ve found it, right-click it, and choose
- Once everything is done, reboot your device.
Even though updates are supposed to bring fixes and improvements, it often happens that an update breaks something instead of fixing it, or fixes one thing and breaks three others. Fortunately, pinpointing which update caused this issue was easy, and Microsoft confirmed that this is the case, so if you simply follow the steps above to uninstalling the update, you won’t have this issue with the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool anymore.
