Windows 8.1 update downloaded

I found a site on Microsoft's page that allowed me to download the entire package of updates and save to harddrive. Now I am faced with a bigger dilemma. It now says once I try installing such it is "not applicable for my system!" What gives. I
have been trying to download from the Store and all it does is start and stop and then states unable to download.
p.s. The link can be found merely by Googling: KB2919355

Just so it's clear, the KB2919355 update does not upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1, it only
updates an existing Windows 8.1 installation to version 8.1 update 1.
Even though Microsoft ought to make good on their offer to upgrade you for free, it's a really, really good idea to get a Windows 8.1 disc (i.e., a buy a full license) and do a full, clean install.  You'll be glad you have a disc if, for example,
you should have to boot it up for recovery from a problem or to restore a backup.

  • No Internet Connectivity Following Windows 7 Critical Update August 19th 20112

    I experienced a Windows 7 automatic update (Downloaded and installed August 18th 2012 - evening) and when I attempted to access the internet on August 19th, I had no connectivity. Issue is not with wifi or service provider since another laptop functions
    normally. I went to system restore as of 15th August and was able to access as normal. But upon closing down the session, the absence of the updates triggers another Windows 7 update automatic install and the exact symptoms return upon restart. Any idea
    what the critical updates were for this period and which of them would cause this failure? Are there clear instructions available for starting from an acceptable state (August 15th) and only adding the updates that are compatible? What are the implications
    of not installing a Windows 7 critical update? What resident programs are likely sources of incompatibility. I have the usual assortment of annoying Dell crap on my system and I use Mcafee antivirus (which is current and has completed a scan finding
    nothing since this problem) but not a whole lot of other software that I can imagine would cause a conflict.   

    You're welcome!
    If you find the one that's causing the problem, Google the KB number and see if anyone else has had a problem with it, and what they did to fix it. Odds are, missing one update is not going to put your system at serious risk.
    I would imagine that if there are enough logged complaints about an update, there would be an updated update (like that :-)? ) some time in the future. It has happened before. I wouldn't put too much stock in Microsoft monitoring these forums closely, but
    I'm sure they must have something in place alerting them of a mass of particular problem posts.
    I can't comment on the "Jumpstart wireless filter adapter" setting since I don't have that option on my laptop's wireless adaptor properties.

  • Will Windows XP still get Windows Update download?

    I am thinking of wiping out an XP Home netbook and re-installing it from scratch.  I understand Microsoft is not supporting Windows XPs any more.  Will the newly re-installed Windows XP get automatic Windows update download from Microsoft of
    whatever Microsoft has already developed.

    Yes, it will. As per MS : "There are no current plans to remove existing Windows XP security updates from Windows Update after end of support on April 8, 2014,"

  • Apps updates/downloads saved in wrong folder

    Hi,
    I have just transferred my iTunes library to my new NAS (WD MyCloud). I simply copied over my entire iTunes folder from the iMac internal hard drive to the NAS, deleted all the content from iTunes and added everything back from the new location/folder. I also changed the iTunes Medial folder location in the Advanced Preference settings.
    Everything seems to work fine with the exception of the App updates/downloads. Whenever I update an existing App or download a newone it will be saved in the old folder on the internal hard drive of my iMac.
    This drives me crazy...please help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Sebastien.

    I think you mean +command shift s+ (Save As…).
    When you *Save As…* you need to choose where to save your initial document, after that just saving will save it in the right spot.
    Inside the *Save As…* dialog box you are free to navigate to other locations either within the column view or by clicking on the folder name at the top of the window, which will reveal the sets of folders enclosing the one you are in ie higher up the hierarchy. To go up the list, just scroll down the menu and let go at the folder you want to move to.
    Also on the left of the *Save As…* dialogue box is your sidebar of frequent locations, you can click on those. To add your own folders to your Sidebar drag in their icon in Finder.
    Also there is a *Search field* to the right of the folder name in the *Save As…* dialogue box, where you can look for folders or files to move to.
    To help you move around more and have more choices at your finger tips, try:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/7214/default-folder-x
    *Default Folder X* is an enormous assist if you don't quite get the computer file system. It lets you click outside the Save dialogue on the folder you want to save to and it jumps there.

  • Windows 8.1 update problem on LENOVO Y510P

    Hey guys, 
    Can't find anything similar to my problem and exhausted my options on this, so decided to ask. If it has been answered I couldn't find, so please point me out on the right direction.
    Back history:
    Have a lenovo y510p
    Bought caddy & SSD drive and installed it onto laptop
    Couldn't find a good doc about how to proced so my idea was
    1-restore factory settings,
    2-Copied the Windows C: partition and the SYSTEM_DRV partition to the SSD using Macrium reflect
    3-Went on the BIOS boot order and set the SSD to boot first.
    4-Voila, works fine, boots C: on the SSD and it's super fast.
    Problem:
    Windows 8.1 update can't install on C:. Bummer
    I receive a notification saying that I can update to windows 8.1, which I want to do.
    1 Hit ok to download,
    2 it starts the update process,
    3 finishes installing,
    4 says it needs to restart
    5-RESTARTS TO THE OLD DRIVE, changing the boot order on the BIOS (**bleep**???)
    I then check that nothing was installed even on the old drive, proceed to shut down computer, change boot order back to SSD drive, start windows and receive a message that it couldn't be installed and it has reverted the installation.
    Has anyone ever experienced that?
    My idea now is to 
    Back up my computer again
    Restore factory settings (on old drive)
    Install windows 8.1 to old drive
    Clone windows partition over 
    Change BIOS to boot up on SSD.
    HOWEVER my question is: What happens when I want to install Windows 10 ? Do you think I'll face the same issue? 
    Should I somehow format the old drive's windows partition to prevent this from happening ? 
    Any help is welcome and I thank you all in advance,
    Cheers

    Did you erase the recovery partition on the old drive? My best guess is to create recovery discs or thumbdrive take the old drive out and put the new drive in and use the discs or thumbdrive to restore the system. Then run the updates and then copy your personal information from the old disc to the new disc.
    As for Windows 10, I do not know if they are going to be doing a clean install with the update to windows 10 or doing an in place update so it is hard to know what problems you will encounter.

  • HP 7210 all in one printer installation error on windows 8.1 update

    We recently got updated by Microsoft from windows 8 to 8.1.  After that time, the scanning function did not work as it did before and the HP menu utility was different. I went through the HP Info service and it said the printer software was not fully functional. I then was told to download the latest hp install software for the 7210, which I did for windows 8/8.1.  The install stops with a fatal MCI error code 1935.  I then went to the troubleshooting guide for error codes (the example box shows almost an identical error message to mine) but it only shows windows XP, Vista, and 7.0.  There is no troubleshooting guide for windows 8 or 8.1 with this code.  I then followed the "HP Solutions for Install Errors (Windows 8.0 and 8.1) and performed all the tasks.  I updated windows to current and same error. I then shut off all startup services and got the same error.  I am now out of idea's or help. 
    The printer has been great and we have had no problem with it since we've owned it.  At this time we are without a printer completely because the install process removed the previous installed software. 
    Forgot to mention this is using USB connection, but the install never gets far enough to ask me to connect it, so it really doesn't matter.
    Any advice would be extremely welcome.
    Thank you
    Joe

  • Since update download monitor shows "No Signal" and "Monitor Going to Sleep" over and over

    I have an HP w2072a Monitor and a Pavillion p7-1436s computer.  I run Windows 8.  Since downloading an update yesterday, I cannot get my monitor to work.  I have unplugged it, plugged it in, tried another monitor, tried another cable, turned the computer off and on several times, played with the sleep button, tried all the buttons on the monitor--nothing works.  If I hit the "On" button, the light turns to blue briefly, I get the screen showing "No signal" then "Monitor Going to Sleep" comes up and the light turns amber---over and over again.  Could this be related to the update I received?  I think the update said it was setting a restore point, but with no monitor, I am stuck!  

    Hi dianthus,
    Sorry to hear about the issue after doing the update. Do you recall what the update was for? I have included a document regarding your issue.

  • Windows 8.1 update - S440 ThinkPad black screen with flickering cursor.

    Hello,
    Sorry if this is answered elsewhere.
    I have an S440. I've had it for one week. Two days ago I downloaded the Windows 8.1 update from the store. Since then, when I start up the computer, it doesn't even taken me to the 'sign in' screen. There's just a black screen. When I move the cursor, it briefly appears, flickers, then disappears again.
    I understand this is an issue with the graphics drivers. So I ran Windows in safemode and disabled Intel R HD Graphics family and AMD Radeon HD  8600 series graphics drivers.
    This, unfortunately, hasn't fixed the problem. It still boots to a black screen with an occasionally flickering cursor. I'm currently running in safemode.
    Any advice?
    Thanks,
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi
    I also have an S440 and have tried 3 times to update laptop without success including updating all drivers and updates inc those from Lenovo.
    Is there a fix for this? Is this an AMD issue?
    My laptop is also very new and cannot believe it is incompatible with windows 8.1.
    Tried the compatibility checker with Windows 8.1and it didn't report any problems.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/upgrade-assistant-download-online-faq 
    Is there anything that can be done to get this working?

  • After I installed the windows 8.1 update, podcasts and music won't play

    After I installed the windows 8.1  update, itunes stopped playing. When I try to play, it brings up the  song but stays at 0:00. My subscribed podcasts still download but they  all stay at 0:00 too. I can click on a later point in the song/podcast  and it moves to that point but just stays there as if it is paused but  indicating it is playing in the controls.
    I  have unistalled/reinstalled itunes and have the same problem.

  • Windows 8.1 Update (with WinPE 5.1) ADK + SCCM 2012 R2 and WinXP

    Hello,
    I see new ADK version (8.1 Update) is released
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/confirmation.aspx?id=39982
    It contains WinPE 5.1 and new USMT (which version?), does it support migration from WinXP to Win7?
    Previously I used USMT5 (instead of 6.3) and modified WinPE 5.0 with bootsect.exe from WinPE 4.0 (from ADK 8.0) on SCCM 2012 R2 CU3.
    And can I use ADK 8.1 Update with SCCM 2012 R2?

    He does answer your question about the USMT version.
    The rest still applies in terms of XP support. See below.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/mniehaus/archive/2014/01/09/migrating-from-windows-xp-to-windows-8-1-using-mdt-2013.aspx
    Yes, ConfigMgr 2012 R2 is supported.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2014/04/03/understanding-the-adk-for-windows-8-1-update-and-configmgr-osd.aspx
    Daniel Ratliff | http://www.PotentEngineer.com
    in the article I found:
    Windows PE version 5.1 is not needed for Configuration Manager and can actually be problematic if you try to use it. Windows PE 5.0 can continue to be used to deploy Windows 8.1 Update. There is a documented process to upgrade Windows PE to version 5.1,
    but this should be considered incompatible with Configuration Manager at this time.
    So for a new installation of SCCM 2012 R2 I can install ADK 8.1 update because in contains WinPE 5.0 and option to update to 5.1. And unclear about XP, it seems XP is not supported again.
    Also fourth release was in September 2014, but article was posted in April 2014.

  • Windows 8.1 Update Failure code: 0xC1900101 - 0x20020017

    Hello, I have an HP Pavilion g6. I can't update to windows 8.1 after download it by windows store, it reboot pc and after that give me this error: 0xC1900101 - 0x20020017. Anyone seeing this issue, and if so, know of the solution?Thanks

    Hi ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion g6 and trying to update to Windows 8.1. Looking into this I have found that it is a driver issue usually associated with USB devices. Please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices, as these could cause some issues. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue.Before updating did you make sure your system was up to date with Windows. Here is something from Microsoft that might help. Here is a link to Microsoft file checker if you need it. Hope this all helps you out. Thanks.
