Failure to update windows 8.1

<< < (6/9) > >>

Shane:
Just had a user post who had a major updating failing on him and he found that it was from another update causing the problem and he found a way to fix it. I want to look into that more and see if it might be what you need as well :-)

Hi Shane.

Sorry I mislead you...the message I got said there were no results found for the  error 8024a000 not the actual download. 

I ran your updated repair tool today but it didn't work on my problem.

Despite trying a few times my windows update says 'failed'.

I saw the latest message for you re 'Jadog's fix. I'll wait for you to check it out, it looks above my head at the moment until I study it....about 100 times.

Cheers Shane.
Tom.

Hi Shane.

You knew I was going to have problems...right ?   Me too !

I followed the instructions (I think) and it almost worked. I even ran it twice.

This is what I got in cmd prompt:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600]
(c) 2013 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>DISM /online /get-packages /format:table | findstr KB2919355


C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.3.9600.16384

Image Version: 6.3.9600.16384

[==========================100.0%==========================]
The operation completed successfully.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>
C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I skipped instruction number 3, was that right ?

I even downloaded the KB from MS and not the one I had saved.

Copying packages to the window update cache, this ran for about 15 minutes.
Then it started to download, this ran for about 30 minutes before reporting "The following updates were not installed....etc"
I let the second attempt run over night but the same results.

"Murphys Law" rules !!!!

Cheers Shane...you are a very patient man.
Tom.

Turns out this update has been a HUGE problem for MS and a LOT of other users.

In fact MS is starting to keep track of it, found this page here, see if it might be of any help to you

You can see the number of problems with it.

Turns out for Windows 8.1 people will no longer get updates after may without this update installed, so MS had better do something about the installer for it soon lol
