If this partition has little or no free space, the Windows 10 update failed to update the system reserved partition. The error is mainly caused by insufficient disk space in the reserved partition for the system or ESP. In this situation, the best solution would be to expand the partition instead of deleting the files.

Press the Windows key + R.
Select the partition marked as system spare.
Select “Change Drive Letter and Paths”.
Select Add.
Enter Y as the drive letter.
Touch or click OK.
Find cmd in the start menu.
At the command prompt, type Y: and press Enter to switch to this drive.

You may be wondering what is causing this problem and if there is a way to resolve it. We are here to say yes, there is a way and it is very easy to reach. Just put a few minutes of your time aside and you’ll solve the problem in no time.

What is the cause

You see, the reserved system partition (SRP) may be too full. Note that the system reserved partition (SRP) is only a small space on your hard disk and is used to store boot information for Windows 10.

Not only that, but also antivirus and other security applications normally write to the SRP, which can quickly cause storage space to reach its limits. There’s nothing we can do right now. It all depends on whether Microsoft can find a better solution that can free up SRP space or not.

Resolving the error

These steps are not complicated, but there is the possibility of risk because you are playing with the boot partition space reserved for the system.

To upgrade to Windows 10 now, you must first free 15 MB of disk space on the SRP, then follow the upgrade steps. However, if you upgrade to Windows 10, simply free up 13 MB of disk space and try again.

Press the Win+R button. When the Run window appears, type diskmt.msc.msc and press Enter.

The next step is to right-click on the drive (e.g. drive 0) containing the SRP and select Properties. Then select the Volumes tab, then the Partition Style tab. Either GUID Partition Table (GPT) or Master Boot Record is displayed. You must select the one you are using. It’s either GPT or MBR.

The solution for Windows 10 with GPT partition

First, the user must launch the command prompt. Click the Search or Cortana button, type the word Command prompt, hold down the button or right-click Command prompt in the results and select Run as administrator.

At the command prompt, type the following, then press Enter.

0x800f0922mount : /s

This operation adds the letter Y : to access the system partition.

Switch to reader Y by entering

0x800f0922Y:

and pressing Enter.

Then navigate to the Fonts folder by entering

. 0x800f0922cd EFIMicrosoftBootFonts

If you are there, type

0x800f0922del *

to delete font files.

The system may ask you if you are sure to continue, press Y and then press Enter to continue.

That should help!

The solution for Windows 10 with MBR partition

Press Windows + R. In the Run window that opens, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter. Then select the partition marked as the system reserve. Right-click and select Edit player letters and paths. Select Add, then type Y for the drive letter, then click OK.

In the Start menu, search for cmd. In the search results, right-click Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator. At the command prompt, type Y : and press Enter to switch to this player. Then navigate to the Fonts folder by typing cd BootFonts.

Enter the following and press Enter:

0x800f0922takeown /d y /r /f

You must specify the space and time after f, otherwise the command will not function properly. Save the privilege set to the drive by typing the following and pressing Enter :

0x800f0922icacls Y:* /save %systemdrive%NTFSp.txt /c /t

Note: Make sure all files are displayed successfully and none failed.

Type whoami and press Enter. Enter the following command and press Enter:

0x800f0922icacles . :F /t

Do not space between usernames and :F, otherwise the command will not work.

Make sure you are still in the font (Y:BootFonts) as described above. Then enter del *.*.* to delete the font files. The system may ask you if you are sure to continue, press Y and then press Enter to continue.

As a precaution, an error can becomene costly.
