Failed Updates required to upgrade to Windows 8.1, but I see no option to reinstall

Basically what the topic title says. The updates required for 8.1 to appear in the store are marked in Windows Update as "Failed", but there is no way for me to install them.

Hi  cmgoliveira,
To upgrade to Windows 8.1,  necessary packages are required, if you fail to get the package through Windows update,
I would suggest to check the “update history” and find the KB number , download it from Microsoft and install it manually.
if this still fails, you can try reset the Windows update in this way:

After this, go to the Windows store and try to upgrade to Windows 8.1

    Norton has actually tried to get a update patch out for Firefox 5.0 back on Tuesday (versus taking some six weeks) when Firefox 5.0 was released. However I think some say the toolbar may not work if patch was installed before Firefox 5.0 and not after.

  • XAML editor failes, Package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation.Windows cannot install package App

    Hi,
    I have just installed Visual Studio Express 2013 update on Windows 8.1 OS, and started a new Windows Phone App project. When I'm opening a new XAML editor window, it fails with the following error message:

    I Have tried repairing visual studio But no use.
    I have unistalled all the things and installed again but no use . Please anybody resolve this issue..

    Hello amanojkumar24,
    I see a related error thread from here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/b6a66a5a-e3b4-4f1a-848e-c1a6b7668b31/desgin-mode-breaks-down-during-windows-store-application-windows-8?forum=toolsforwinapps
    As you've already repaired Visual Studio but Visual Studio still reports the error for you, we need to look into the error info:
    This package requires minimum version 0.0.0.0 of framework Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug published by any publisher to install.
    So here we need this package "Microsoft.VCLibs.120.00.Debug"
    Please do the following:
    1. Check your installation that you have enabled VC++ components. If you haven't or if you are not sure of it, please check this blog:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vcblog/archive/2014/08/01/c-runtime-for-sideloaded-windows-8-1-apps.aspx
    Then you can download and install the package from
    here.
    2. You can also make sure you've registered and already have the license:

  • MDT 2012 Update 1 - Attempting to capture Windows Thin PC but it keeps looping after reboot.

    I have been trying to capture a master image of Windows Thin PC we have prepared using MDT 2012 Update 1 but to no avail. When attempting the capture process using LiteTouch.vbs it syspreps and then reboots as it normally would and then it simply keeps rebooting
    over and over in a loop.
    I am unsure of how to bypass this and correctly capture Windows Thin PC using MDT 2012 Update 1. If anyone has any advice or feedback they can offer I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

    Logs suggest that the script is most likely crashing early on.
    I suspect that the reason for this is that the deployment share was *updated* from a previous version of MDT, and some files are out of date.
    Can you update the share (full update, regenerate from scratch?)
    Otherwise we may need to run Litetouch.wsf manually from within WinPE:
    When WinPE Boots and you have a mouse, press F8.
    Run TaskMgr.exe and verify that wscript.exe is no longer running (wait 2 minutes).
    Then run the following command:
    "cscript.exe x:\deploy\scripts\litetouch.wsf /debug:true /debugcapture"
    That should run the litetouch.wsf script and it should display any errors if found.

  • After latest update wmp plugin is missing in add-ons, but is still correct installed. Reinstalling wont work. What can i do?

    I was lissening to online radio. Firefox needed to update. After the latest update the windows media player plugin dissapeared from the add-on list, while still being installed correct. I reinstalled it, but that didn't work. I replaced/deleted some files in firefox as suggested for similiar problems, but that didn't work either.
    Now I can't play wmp files anymore on firefox.
    I hope u can help me solve this problem.

    No, I dont agree with you! absolutely!
    this is NOT due to the plugin developer, but to Mozilla.
    Mozilla modified the behaviour. Mozilla should to repair the issue! the plugin is NOT blacklisted by mozilla!!! therefore....
    I am worried about your reply.

  • Im trying to export a video to AVI but cannot see the option, Im on a mac. Is this option a windows only option?

    The company I work for use AVI videos for Nuendo and I have recently installed my Adobe CC to test efficiency in creating video files for our clients. making QT is a piece of cake but cannot seem to find an option to create AVI anywhere. Would this option be available if I were to install Adobe CC on a Windows machine or is there no longer any support for AVI?

    AVI is windows only.

  • ACS 5.2 Sync with Windows 2008 AD but cannot see the Groups

    Hi Pals,
    Recently I've been working with the ACS 5.2 (Installed on VMWare). At the beginning I was using a Win Server 2003 Enterprise edition AD, and there was no problem with the AD and the CA Authority. Because some of my customers use Win Server 2008 I change the AD platform to Win Server 2008 Enterprise edition  (x64).
    I don't really have a great experience with Win Server Platforms and, for what I've seen, the Win Server 2003 Services deployment is easier than the Win Server 2008 is.
    So, when I used the Win server 2003 I could not only synchronize the ACS with the AD but also use some groups created on the AD to perform the Network Access Authentication. When I try to do the same with the Win Server 2008 AD the ACS and the Server get Synchronized but when I want to add the groups for the Authentication purposes there is no one, absolutely nothing... so I cannot do any test.
    Also I looked for information about the compatibility between the ACS 5.2 and the Win Server 2008 platforms and at the end the platforms are compatibles.
    Any Idea??
    Thanks in Advance.
    Jose M Cortes H

    Hi Jose,
    This should generally work.
    From what I could read, you cannot list AD groups when trying to select them under an authentication/authorization rule.
    What about when trying to list them under the AD configuration?
    Users and Identity Stores > External Identify Stores > Active Directory > Directory Groups > select...
    Unfortunately, without more details on a specific error message, it would be hard to tell where the root cause could lie.
    We could collect some initial logs from ACS 5.2, in order to start isolating the issue:
    1. Log in to the ACS command line and enable the following debugs:
    admin# acs-config
    Escape character is CNTL/D.
    Username:
    Password:
    acsadmin(config-acs)# debug-adclient enable
    acsadmin(config-acs)# debug-log mgmt level debug
    acsadmin(config-acs)# debug-log runtime level debug
    2. Recreate the issue a couple of times by trying to list the AD groups in the authentication rule and even by trying to list them under
    Users and Identity Stores > External Identify Stores > Active Directory > Directory Groups > select...
    3. Take note of the time stamp when you recreate the issue and then collect the ACS support bundle from the Monitoring & Report Viewer, under
    Troubleshooting > ACS Support Bundle
    Please be sure of collecting the support bundle while checking the following options:
    Include full configuration database = Unchecked
    Include debug logs = All
    Include local logs = All
    Include core files = All
    Include monitoring and reporting logs (all categories checked) = Include files from the last 1 day
    Also, please communicate the time stamp when the issue is observed, so that we can track it faster in the logs.
    Regards,
    Fede

  • Unable to upgrade to windows 8.1

    I have an HP ENVY 15t Quad TouchSmart - E4T18AV laptop which I bought from the US online store in July 2013.
    I reside in Singapore right now. Its been a while since the microsoft announced free upgrade to windows 8.1 but my laptop has been unable to upgrade. There is no upgrade notification when I launch the HP support assistant nor does the app store show any. 
    Is it something to do with my being in Singapore and my laptop having being bought in US? How do I upgrade it to windows 8.1?
     Thanks in advance.

    Hi there @greenseer 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are looking for help with upgrading to Windows 8.1. I am happy to help with this.
    Firstly the HP Support assistant is not going to offer an operating system change as an update. Mostly it is handling updated drivers from the website. For the WIndows 8.1 upgrade, you should look at the Microsoft website itself.
    Please see  the following tutorial on the Microsoft website:
    Update to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 - windows.microsoft.com
    I hope this helps.

  • What's the correct recovery process once upgraded to Windows 10? (No OneKey Recovery)

    I have a Z50-70 laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is a OEM version, with the product key stored in the Bios. It is a UEFI install. It currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand correctly (I haven't actually used it yet), allows you to recover from a recovery partition in the hard disk. This isn't a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that takes you back to the state the laptop was in when originally purchased (will have all Lenovo software and drivers preinstalled). According to the official Lenovo upgrade guide, before performing the Windows 10 upgrade, we should uninstall basically all Lenovo software, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10. Questions: 1. What's the correct process to recover the system from within Windows 10 if something goes badly wrong? I think Windows 10 has a built in "reset your computer" functionality in Settings which I assume is what we would be expected to use. Would this take me to:a. A completely fresh install of Windows 10?b. An image created during the 8.1 to 10 upgrade, containing all my files etc at the point of performing the upgrade?c. Or would it use the Lenovo recovery partition (that OneKey Recovery would have used if it was compatible) and take me back to Windows 8.1?d. Something else? 2. Once I've performed the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I believe I could create a bootable media with the Windows 10 ISO, boot into it and install a completely clean installation of Windows 10 and it would activate. I could theoretically do as many fresh installs from the bootable media as I want, so long as initially I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the laptop hardware doesn't change. Is that correct?2a. If so, during the first clean bootable media install process, would I be safe to compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely, and from that point onwards rely on Windows 10's "Reset your PC" functionality? Could I could even just use reinstalling Windows 10 from bootable media again as a way of recovering? If I understand correctly, it doesn't make sense to keep the recovery partition it if it can't be used within Windows 10. I think it I had a regular desktop PC with a retail version of Windows, then all the above would be fine. The added complications here are that 1. I have no Windows 8.1 product key (it's handled alll by the BIOS), and 2. I have no recovery disks. I want to make sure I understand everything fully before upgrading, and potentially doing a clean install using bootable media, so that I don't end up messing something up and ending up with either a laptop that I can't recover, of a Windows installation that isn't activated. Thanks.

    Update for anyone else reading: I just uninstalled OneKey recovery on my Windows 8.1 installation, in preparation for the upgrade. So as far as Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed. The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, pressed the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was still greeted with the OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from factory image, or a custom image. Therefore I assume that once I've upgraded to Windows 10, I will always have the option to restore to factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to. The confusion seems to be that the OneKey recovery software is actually two separate softwares: 1. OneKey Recovery #1 is installed within the hidden recovery partition that is responsible for performing a system restore from the image of your choosing - either the factory image or a custom image created by OneKey recovery software #2. OneKey Recovery software #1 is always accessible via the Novo button. 2. OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, that is responsible for creating custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but as far as I can tell, this just restarts the computer and loads up OneKey software #1, which allows you to perform the recovery. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software that Lenovo told us to uninstall before upgrading to Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 will leave OneKey Recovery software #1 in tact.As far as I can tell, this means that uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 means that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we retain the ability to restore from a system image. Can anyone confirm that I've understood correctly, and that what I've said above is indeed the case? I'm still a little unsure about what Windows 10's built in "Reset this PC" will do though - whether it will use Lenovo's recovery partition or perform a clean Windows 10 install.

  • Upgrade to windows 8.1 for free??? where and how please!!!

    When I first recieved my computer I received an upgrade for windows 8.1 but issues accorded and I was forced to refresh my laptop back to factory and now I cant find a free upgrade to windows 8.1 any where?? any suggestions?

    Hi,
    Firstly it is ONLY availabe for Windows 8 users. No, you don't need to set your machine back to factory settings; actually you HAVE to update your Windows 8 machine up to date (or at least to a point you can see Windows 8.1 upgrade on Windows Store). BUT please check the following first:

  • Iphone not recognized after upgrading to Windows 7

    I know a lot of people have problems in this area, but most (?) seem to have the P55 chipset. I don't believe my Acer Aspire 6930 has that chipset, but ever since upgrading to Windows 7 I can't see my iphone in itunes.
    Windows recognizes it, as I can see it in the device list, and even import pictures off of it. But itunes refuses to see it.
    I've uninstalled/reinstall/uninstalled/reinstalled itunes a number of times and have gotten nowhere.

    Ok, I've found a workaround on another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9658855).
    According to that poster (he has an iPod Touch), Apple Tech Support told him to disconnect his computer from the Internet, and then try to connect his iPod Touch. This worked for him. I just tried it and it works reliably.
    After reading the post I plugged out my Internet connection from my laptop, and then connect my iPhone. It was detected. I repeated this 4 more times and each time the device was detected and came up in my iTunes sidebar. I then restarted my machine and tried it again 5 times. It worked all 5 times. When I reconnected my machine to the Internet, the problem came back the very next time I plugged my phone in.

  • "This update requires Mac OS X 10.6.7" !? i installed 10.6.8

    hello i have a problem when i install new safari it say ; This update requires Mac OS X 10.6.7" but i have 10.6.8 !!! why ?

    Don't Uninstall Safari. It rarely does any good, and often just creates more of a mess.
    The CT problem is handled this way
    Close Safari.
    Check here for CT Loader
    Locate and delete:
    HD/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    HD/Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    HD/Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg
    HD/Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    HD/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    HD/Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    It may not be in every single location, but get it out where ever you find it.
    Restart Safari. Any Better?
    If it's already uninstalled, try the combo update to get SAfari back.
    Or reinstall from your Install Disk.

  • TS1538 Problem with instal of the latest update of iTunes on my Windows 8 computer

    I have installed the latest update of iTunes on my Windows 8 computer but now have a problem in that iTunes does not recogise my iPhone.  I get a message that I need a new version of "Apple Mobile Device Support".  However, I can't delete the old file?  I get a message saying "The older version of Apple Mobile Device Support cannot be removed.  Contact your technical support group."
    Any suggestions?

    I've not had this problem since getting windows 8 but did previously use a free program from Microsoft called "windows install clean up" which I found online (at that time I needed to remove a stubborn QuickTime programe from windows 7).
    May be worth a search for if you've got time. It worked amazingly before and remomved programs that otherwise refused to be unintalled!

  • HT4623 I have the iPhone 3 and I don't see an option for software update

    I have the iPhone 3G and im trying to download instagram and twitter but it's not allowing me to do so because it says I need to update my software. Now when I go to settings then general settings to see if I can update the iPhone . It doesn't give me the option that there is a software update. So what can I do to update my phone

    The iPhone 3G can't be upgraded beyond 4.2.1. The over the air update requires iOS 5 or higher, thus you won't see it.
