0x101-0x20017 - Windows 8.1 Pro update

Hey Technet!
I've recently been attempting to install Windows 8.1 Pro on my Asus Pro55 F5SR laptop.
The specs for the laptop are:
- 2GB RAM
- 250GB HHD
- Intel Core 2 Duo T5800
- ATI (AMD) Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series - 512MB
- Windows 8 Pro x64
The laptop currently runs Windows 8 which was installed in December, last year.
I have tried installing 8.1 via the Store, and also ISO, both returning 0x20017 after the first installation reboot.
Along with these, I have also tried performing a Clean boot, disabling firewalls/anti-virus, and performing a PC Refresh. All return the BSOD with no luck.
My system reserved drive is 100MB (however I do not know if this would have anything to do with my problem).

Hardware wise, I only had my Monitor, USB Mouse + Keyboard and USB Hub connected (with no usb's off the hub).
I also have no encryption of any type.
Any help with fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
If there is any more information needed, please let me know.
Thanks,

Hi,
According to the Setup log, I would like to know if your system has MSSQL service.
And,please update all drivers to latest versions(include display driver),firstly.
It's important.
Then, I suggest we try the following steps to narrow down the issue.
1.Stop "Windows Update" service.
2.Delete "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution" folder.
3.Restart "Windows Update" service.
If the issue persists, please  check if your system have enabled .NET Framework 3.5 in Windows 8.
Meanwhile, I suggest you upload the dump files so that we can help you analyze them.

  • Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 and it killed all my 3rd party drivers

    Hoping someone can help - my PC upgraded Windows 8.1 Pro (fresh install a few months ago) with the 'Update 1 patch' which was made available a few days ago.  It was done via Windows Update - I let it do its thing for about 15 minutes, restart etc.
    Once the machine restarted, I noticed the following:
    - no network connection
    - no sound
    - no working camera
    I went to the device manager and see a stack of 3rd-party devices with exclamation marks, all stating code 28 (the drivers for this device are not installed).  I go to each device and try to update the drivers - it looks like its going to work and then
    gives the error "The system cannot find the file specified".
    I do some googling and find the setupapi.dev.log.  The log for every device with a problem reads like this:

     It seems like 'update 1' as crapped all over my driver store.
    What can I do to fix this - I have tried a raft of things such as pnputil commands to add the driver INFs manually (they fail saying 'element not found'), but still I am stuck without sound, network and camera.
    This will be the last time I let Microsoft update automatically install - it will now be 100% manual, and done after a few weeks to ensure there aren't bugs.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Update 1 not available

    I have a new Thinkpad 10 running Windows 8.1 Pro. I don't see an option to install Update 1 (available through Windows Store on my other Windows 8 laptops). I don't think that Update 1 has been installed since I don't see the power button on Start screen next to my user name. Using the Windows Update command doesn't work, says that all updates have been installed. How do I get Update 1? Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You won't see the power button on the Start Screen on any tablet that uses Connected Standby (aka InstantGo) - it's by Microsoft's design. So you will be running Update 1 if you are being told that all updates are installed.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro update caused application to stop working

    We have 3 Surface tablets running a catalog application for circulation.  The program has been running on the Surfaces since September.  After the 8.1 Pro upgrade this week, the application no longer runs.  It depends on Java jars but we do
    not think that is the problem.  Two Windows 8 Enterprise devices run the app just fine in XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode.  Clicking on the icon does nothing - it usually launches the loading of the jar files.  I can't find anything in
    the event logs pertaining to the app.

    Hi,
    It seems that this application doesn't support Windows 8.1.
    I suggest you contact the developer of  this application to confirm if the software support Windows 8.1.

  • Sideloading on domain joined Windows 8.1 Professional Update Tablets

    Hi folks,
    first, I want to apologize for my bad English. I'm out of practice since several years and Google Translator is not the best assistance.
    We are developing a Windows 8 LOB App for our customer. This App shall only be available for the employees of this customer. Therefore, releasing the App in the Windows Store is not an option.
    As far as I understand the announcements by Microsoft, it is now possible to sideload Windows Store Apps on devices where Windows 8.1 Pro Update is installed. The requirements are the app has to be signed, the group policy "Allow all trusted apps to install"
    has to be enabled and the devices must be part of a domain. A sideloading key is not required anymore.
    At the moment I try to sideload an app to an Windows 8.1 Pro lenovo tablet. The System is up to date and the device is part of an AD-Domain.
    To sideload the app, I've done the following:
    -> First I deleted the developer license from my testing device.
    -> Then I've created a code signing certificate with mkcert and Pvk2Pfx according to.
    -> Creating and signing the App package with Visual Studio 2013 worked without problems.
    -> I activated the local GP "Allow all trusted apps to install" and installed the certificate under the local machine\Trusted Root Certification Authority certificate store.
    But when I try to install the app with Add-AppPackage, the process abort with an error. The error message says, that a developer license or a sideloading key is required.
    What do I wrong? Has someone managed to sideload an App to a domain joined Windows 8.1 Pro device and can give me some advice?
    Many thanks in advance.
    Tobias

    Hello,
    though, I have not updated this thread in the last days, I'm still not sure, whether sideloading keys are necessary to successfully sideload apps to domain joined Windows 8.1 Pro devices.
    To make sure that I have got you right: Might someone confirm to me, that even for domain joined devices with Windows 8.1 Pro Update installed, sideloading keys are necessary, because these devices are only ready to, but not yet enabled for sideloading.
    If no sideloading keys are necessary, is it required, for successful sideloading, that the devices are logged into the domain network and connected with the domain controller, for a successful deployment? My test device is domain joined but at the moment it
    is not logged into that domain network.
    Thanks.
    Tobias
    I'm unable to confirm myself, since I don't use Pro edition in my organisation (we use Enterprise edition because we purchased that in our agreement).
    It might be possible, that the MSFT statements for Pro (does not require sideloading key), might only be functional when using the Volume Licensing channel product for Pro. i.e. maybe the OEM channel and Retail channel of Pro might not be enabled for sideloading?
    It sounds like you are using an OEM or Retail channel Pro (i.e. that OS shipped on the Lenovo device).
    This is my observation from your symptoms. I'm not sure how to validate that, without trying each case.
    It may be necessary to raise a support call with MSFT to validate that.

  • Windows Update in Endless Loop of 'Installing updates" and "Undoing changes" on New Windows 8.1 Pro Install

    I am setting new Windows 8.1 Pro computers, and am installing Windows 8.1 Pro to bare drives.  Everything goes fine until Windows Update starts installing updates, and then the computer goes for hours installing updates, and then "We
    could not complete the updates Undoing changes".   It's an endless loop. It seems to be the same 38 updates.  This is a recent phenomenon.  I have not run into this until the last week or two on several new computer installs.
    Again these are brand new installs, so something is clearly wrong with the Windows updates.
    If anyone can please tell me how to avoid this, it would be much appreciated.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    "  This is a recent phenomenon"
    Have you made any modifications to the machines ?
    To resolve this issue ,running the built-in troubleshoot tool is a very good beginning .It will automatically diagnostic the windows update components and check the configurations for us .
     Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\Fix problems with Windows Update
    If there are antivirus software installed in these machines, please turn off them temporarily to have a check.
    The command line included in the link as S.Sengupta posted is very useful and convenient to repair the windows corrupted files .We can have a try .
    "sfc /scannow" ,"DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth "
    We also can check the windowsupdate.log for more information to troubleshoot this issue .
     Run "windowsupdate.log"
    If you have trouble in analyzing the log ,please upload them to the OneDrive and paste the link here .
    Best regards

  • Windows 8.1 Pro x64 update issue

    Hi. Having installed Windows 8.1 Pro x64 on my business laptop (installed all drivers, fully updated it from Microsoft . . .) I joined it to the domain and installed needed apps. Then I put it in OU where updating of all computers inside that OU was via
    WSUS. In WSUS updating is set to automatically download but notify for install. I noticed that in control panel - windows update there are number of updates waiting to be installed but in shut down menu I do not have either
    update and restart or update and shut down - in other words there is no any notification that updates are waiting to be installed. I am not 100 % sure but I think when updating was directly from Microsoft update servers
    update and restart and update and shut down were there. How to solve this - leave laptop to update itself via WSUS which is in fact recommended solution and have
    update and restart and update and shut down. It is insane if I have always to go to control panel - windows update and check from there if there are some updates waiting to be installed.

    Hi,
    Windows 8/8.1 will notify you that your PC will be restarted in X days to finish installing security updates on the right corner of the logon screen.
    Here is an article talking about Minimizing restarts after automatic updating in Windows Update, please take a look for the notification:
    Minimizing restarts after automatic updating in Windows Update
    Besides, we could also take a look at the following article regarding the notification of Windows update.
    Where are Windows 8 Update Notifications ?

  • Yoga 2 Pro : BIOS Update on a clean Windows 8.1 Pro install

    Hi,
    I recently bought the Yoga 2 Pro. Like everybody I have the yellow problem.
    After buying it, I reinstalled my computer with a fresh Windows 8.1 pro install.
    I was wondering if anybody has already tried updating the BIOS on a clean Windows 8.1 install ?
    And also if there is any reported bug with the BIOS update.
    I already crashed a while back one of my previous computer and I would prefer if this don't append again
    Thanks,
    Best,

    Not, i'm speaking about the BIOS update. The windows 8.1 pro installation was fine.

  • Windows 8.1 Pro Workstations - Not Getting "Install Updates and Shut Down" notification for new updates

    We've got a small handful of Windows 8.1 Pro workstations on our domain (SBS 2008).
    The workstations show up in the WSUS Console list along with the details of how many updates need to be installed.
    On the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations, at the logon screen they display "Important Updates Are Available. Go to PC Settings to install them".  If we go to PC Settings or Windows Updates via Control Panel the updates show as awaiting installation.
    However, we can't rely on users to go into PC Settings or Control Panel to install Windows Updates. We need them to be installed as per Windows 7 and Windows XP - whereby when the user shuts down their workstations it displays the message "Install Updates
    and Shutdown".
    Currently the Windows 8.1 Pro workstations do not show this - if you choose to shut down there are no update installation messages and the workstations simply shut down.
    Has anyone else encountered this? What needs to be done?
    Thanks in advance.
    I don't work for Microsoft - I just use their products.

    It does sound weird yes.
    Id like to try and mirror your setup in my lab.
    What settings do you have in your WSUS GPO?
    Have you seen this, in the 'Configure Automatic Updates' setting?
          On Windows 8 and later, you can set updates to install during automatic maintenance instead of a specific schedule. Automatic maintenance will install updates when the computer is not in use, and avoid doing so when the computer
    is running on battery power. If automatic maintenance is unable to install updates for 2 days, Windows Update will install updates right away. Users will then be notified about an upcoming restart, and that restart will only take place if there is no potential
    for accidental data loss.
            Automatic maintenance can be further configured by using Group Policy settings here: Computer Configuration->Administrative Templates->Windows Components->Maintenance Scheduler

    Has somebody faced same problem? Any solution for it?Thanks

    bman 58, it did help, thank you. I battled this problem for over a month and your solution solved it. Previous recommendations (including two genius bar visits) to uninstall/reinstall iTunes lead to more problems, including iTunes failing to open with an error stating "iTunes cannot open 'itunes library.itl' because it was created with a more recent version of iTunes." Other forum posts to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash and Java got iTunes back to opening, but again crashing when trying to access the store. Copying the QTMovieWin.dll file put iTunes back to rights.

  • Can't Change Account picture and Stuck in WIndows Update on Windows 8.1 Pro

    Hi
    I am facing problem on changing my account picture and windows update, both of these issue was gave me a head ache of searching best solution, but none of all of the techie "solved forums" for these both problems was solved my problems.
    I had first clean install this Windows 8.1 Pro N to my laptop, and tried to change my Account Picture but personal settings is not opening, I followed all instructions from forums but none of those tricks works for me.
    Now trying to Update my Windows, another problem it was stuck in Preparing to Install, another extensive searching from the internet forums, another no lucky to solve this problem, although some people works, but in mine, no luck.
    Better to move down again to Windows 7.

  • Elongated Startup Time with Update to Windows 8.1 Pro (64 bit)

    I've gone ahead and installed the Windows 8.1 Professional update after being quite happy with Win 8 Pro.  After about a month of waiting for an improvement in the Restart times - it takes approximately 3 minutes after signing in for me to have a useable system - it occurred to me to ask if anyone else has had a similar experience; and, if so were you able to shorten the time taken to restart (or start) the system?  I figured this may well be a case of outdated drivers; and I've been diligent about installing all Microsoft and Lenovo updates with no discernible improvement.
    Any and all suggestions gladly accepted.
    Solved!

    ...some more info on this situation. 
    The system boots relatively quickly to the "Welcome Screen" and after signing in it takes another 3 minutes for me to have a useable system - although that is not completely accurate.  In the course of the 3 minute wait, I am able to start the Task Manager; and by use of the Lenovo "black button" I can get into the Control Panel.  So it seems a large part of the wait time is spent being on hold until Windows Explorer is clear to start.  
    If I disable all non-Microsoft services via "msconfig", I get a very quick (at least, relatively) startup; however, I am unable to identify which of the non-MS services is giving me grief (or which ones, if there are more than one).  Likewise, a boot in "Safe mode" also provides a fast start up. 
    Hopefully, some bright soul(s) - from Lenovo or MS or ??? - will come up with a solution to this predicament; altho', at this point, maybe not in time for Christmas!

  • G510 Windows 8.1 Pro X64 Conexant Audio Driver Error and Driver Update Request

    When are we to expect some updates in the drivers for G510, specifically for both graphics (Intel and AMD)
    Also I am using G510S's Lenovo Power Management for Windows 8.1(running with no issues) as Windows 8 version was not compatible and there is no Win8.1 version.
    And there is an update available for Conexant Audio in windows update and after the update when ever I play music, a few seconds in the Audio Device stops(a red cross on volume icon) and then troubleshooter automatically runs and fixes the audio device and audio comes back.
    Also I would like to request that you bring back Dobly Advanced Audio v2 that was available with WINDOWS 8 version of the driver. It was just much more convienient and I liked its graphics equilizer much better.
    K thnx
