Windows 8.1 Professional x64: Windows will not run Windows Update after fresh install

Greetings everyone. I'm having a strange issue that I can't seem to figure out. I'm developing an image with the following specs:
Hardware:
Dell XPS 12 Ultrabook Convertible
Haswell i7
8 GB RAM
256 SSD HD
Software:
Windows 8.1 Professional x64
Problem description:
After formatting and partitioning the hard drive (UEFI) with a corporate copy of Windows 8.1 x64, the laptop is booted up in Audit mode. No OEM drivers or software is installed. Windows is then activated to the KMS server and verified.
I then connect to a hotspot (no proxy required) and open up IE 11. I click tools and select Windows Update. The laptop then searches and searches for updates and never finds any. I've let it search for over 10 hours. The laptop never
returns an error message.
Troubleshooting performed:
1. I've tried different copies of Windows 8.1 - same result.
2. I've tried installing the OS with different types of media (external hd and multiple bootable USB drives) - same result.
3. I've disable the Windows Update service, deleted the contents of the SoftwareDistribution folder, restarted the Windows Update service and rebooted laptop - same result
4. I've installed this copy of Windows 8.1 on different models of laptops with no OEM drivers or software installed - same result.
5. I've installed all of the OEM device drivers in the correct order and ensured that the device manager is clear of bang signs - same result.
6. Date and time is set correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this with Windows 8.1 x64? If I take a copy of Windows 7 x64 or 8 x64 and install it on this laptop, it updates Windows without any issues. The problem seems to be with Windows 8.1.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Touchsmart 600-1037d will not recognize Touchscreen after fresh install Win 8 Pro 64-bit

Would appreciate anyone's help in how to resolve my issue with my HP Touchsmart 600-1037d. I have completed a fresh installation of Windows 8 Pro 64-bit, and the Touchscreen feature is not activated. Unlike some of the other similarly related enquiries, I do not receive an error message in my Device Drivers that recognizes the Touchscreen and not have the correct drivers. In my case, the OS simply does not recognize the Touchsreen features that were functional in Windows 7 64-bit. I have tried using the NextWindow drivers from HP, Windows Update Catalog, and NextWindow websites, however none seem to work. I have even tried a type of forced "installation" by right-clicking the relevant .inf files - with no success.

Dear frrw,
Thank you for your reply and comments. After reading through the pages from the link you provided, perhaps I am missing something. I have successfully installed Windows 8 64-bit on my HP Touchsmart 600-1037d, which uses the nVidia GT230 adapter. I have also successfully installed the latest nVidia Win8 drivers for the GT230. All the features on the Touchsmart 600-1037d work fine - except there is no Touchscreen function. In Device Manager there is no notification that there is a driver missing, ie Device Manager does not recognize that there is a Touchscreen device that I would need to update. In Win7 64-bit the Touchscreen function worked fine.
I have tried forcing the installation of the following drivers with no success, ie Win8 64-bit simply does not recognize that there is a Touchscreen device to install.
- NextWindow drivers from HP
- Windows Update Catalog drivers for the NextWindow 1950
- NextWindow website
Would appreciate any further advice.

Windows 8--"iTunes64Setup" (11.1.3) will not run/install

Hi all,
I received an iPad air for Christmas today, and naturally I plugged it into my laptop (a Sony Vaio, running Windows 8.0) in order to access iTunes (we do not have wi-fi at home). My laptop, which at the time was running iTunes 11.0.5 (I believe) said that the iPad needed the latest iTunes update (11.1.3--well, technically it said 11.1) to work.
Well, that's all fine and dandy, but the Apple Software update program proved disappointing immediately. I checked iTunes off (99.83 MB), but not iCloud, and clicked install one item. Now, the download always stops during the 67.80 MB mark of the download process (I have tried this multiple times--once or twice it reached an .1 MB mark, and then stopped). An error message appears: "iTunes" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. |and then| Errors occurred while installing the updates. If the problem persists, choose Tools > Download only and try installing manually. ...That doesn't work either.
So I go to download the 64 bit update from the Apple website itself (I use Google Chrome, by the way--and yes, IE also proved no better), and after a few failed download attempts (they said: Failed--Network error) manage to get the file labelled "iTunes64Setup." If I click on it directly, it asks me if I want to run it (the publisher is 'unknown' apparently). When I do, an empty bar flashes on screen (and an icon appears in the taskbar) for the briefest of moments before both disappear.
The same thing happens when I try to run it as an administrator.
My security software is Kaspersky, and I did go check to see if the setup was allowed. I did try to clean out my Temp folder, but that has met with failure as well (though perhaps I'm doing that solution wrong, I'm not sure).
I did at one point uninstall my iTunes completely (and I deleted the related files) in an attempt to do a complete reinstall. That failed as well. In fact, I couldn't even download iTunes 11.0.5 again (even though it has been working without a problem for months). I did manage to find an old 10 point something or other version of iTunes that has installed well enough on my laptop; but you know, I'd really like for my gift to not go to waste.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(

Windows 7, ie 11, flash player will not run

I have a newer computer (new to me, but refurbished) running windows 7 and internet explorer 11. I have installed adobe flash player 5 million times, tried other browsers etc. I show that flash player is installed and enabled however it still is not running when I verify that I have it. Active x is off as well. PLEASE HELP!!!

What exactly means "not running"; what do you see instead of the expected Flash content?

It will not open even with a fresh install

Firefox has not opened for a while. I did a fresh install on a windows 8.1 64 bit operating system and the darn thing still will not open. I am not happy about this.

I'm re-installing from a cd. I have upgraded since Aperture 1.0!! When I use the install from Aperture 3.0, it won't open my library (because it has been updated to a newer version of Aperture). So, I tried to open Aperture with the sample library on the disc. No go. States I don't have permissions.
I updated the re-installed version of Aperture 3.0 to the current 3.2.3. I still CANNOT open Aperture. I seem to be getting the same error message.
I have fixed permissions and all. My Mac is up to date. I don't know what else to do.
I have a MacBook Air and Aperture works great on it. Problem is my huge library is difficult to transfer or duplicate since it is so large. I think I will just take out my hard drive from my Mac Pro and put it in a desktop enclosure.
I can't even open Aperture from my Vault.

I need to install version 22 - nothing higher until 27 is available as my payroll program will not run. How do I install version 22 and not the most recent ver

I need to install version 22. This is under the guidance of my payroll provider. The program will not work until version 27 comes out. I do not need help solving the problem with the payroll program, I just want to install version 22 of Firefox.

Firefox 27.0 is in Beta at moment until February 4 release.
You would be better off trying to use wither the User Agent Switcher extension or ua-site-switch extension to try a fool this one site or to use the portable Firefox 22.0 just for this one site.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-switcher/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ua-site-switch/
You should not switch to using 22.0 only due to known potential vulnerabilities that is fixed in newer versions like the current Fx 26.0.
The Portable Firefox is a self contained program as it will not interfere with your current Firefox 26.0 install. It can even be used completely on a usb flash drive. http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Edition%2022.0/ and pick your language.
I posted a ink to portable Firefox 22.0 as their homepage currently only links to the current 26.0 and 24.2.0esr on http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

"will not open"?
Explain in more detail. What do you see? What don't you see?
And also, what is your operating system, and what version of Lightroom are we talking about?

Flex apps will not run in Browser after install

I am running IE 6 (Wintel) and have tried both installers for
the most recent Flash player -- activeX and the other standalone
one. I cannot view any Flex apps now in my browser - most notably
the derby examples. It seems to hang on a screen that has the title
"Flash Player Installation" -- like something in the apps is
sniffing for the player, not finding it, and then hanging on some
"automatic" install hook that has been built for Flex but not
completely implemented yet. That is my suspicion, but I just want
it to work -- do I need to uninstall/reboot/install again ? Any
tips would be greatly appreciated as I need to start a Flex 2
project next week. thanks.

You definatately need to run the unistaller 1st. Also make
sure that all IE browser are closed, and that nothing that could
possibly be using IE functionality (things like outlook, file
manager etc...) are not running or the uninstall may well fail.
Once this is succefully accomplished, re-install.

HT4972 cannot update ipad on windows 7 done everything it just will not connect to update server

the itunes update server could not be contacted .Please check your internet connection or try again later . this is as far as i get and my pc is on internet

Might be a problem with firewall or antivirus.
A way out is to download the new iOS version manually. Then connect the iPad and hold Shift when you click Update. That opens a dialogue to allow you to navigate to the downloaded file
This page has links to Apple's download servers. Make sure you pick the right file for your device. This is how I do all my updates

"Profile is missing or corrupted." Will not start again even with fresh install.

Apparently after some kind of crash, whenever I start Firefox I receive an error message saying "Profile is missing or corrupted. Cannot be loaded" or something like that. The information about loading the Profile Manager does no good, since it presumes you can already start Firefox. It is not even allowing me to create a new profile, and downloading a new version of Firefox does not work either.

Hello tomreedtoon,
try to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] file to force firefox to create a new profile, the profiles.ini file exist in firefox profile folder '''path'''
for your windows use "Start > Run" (or press "Windows key+R" to open the Run box) and type :
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox
and click "OK" to quickly open the appropriate folder
when the new profile created (after you delete the profiles.ini folder) then see:

thank you

My Power Mac G4 will not run software update program

I recently bought a used Power Mac G4. Everything runs fine. It is running Tiger. I try to update the software. I click on the Software Update Program. The little arrow appears under it. But, no windows open up. This happens for several different programs. I also can't run any CD's it looks like a window pops up. But then it closes right away. I need help.

Okay, kevib, try running Disk Utility and repair permissions, maybe click on verify and repair hard drive. I guess you can get on the internet okay- You may want to check Apple for any special G4 firmware updates/patches specifically for your breed of machine. Also, check your connection doctor, I don't mean to sound like an annoying person, but Software update needs to connect to the Internet to download software, so no internet, no updating. Failing that, you may have to go to Apple's support section and download the software updates yourself. Just click on them, save them as whatever, make sure they appear on your desktop, and then run them. Failing that, if you have the original software dvd's, you may need to reinstall the system software. restart your machine, hold down the C key on the keyboard, when prompted, put the dvd into the drive, and boot up from that. there should be an option there to run disk utility, and then reinstall system software without erasing your hard drive. As for your CD's, I dunno, It could be the former problem, or something else. See if you can find a copy of Tech Tool which may help you. the trial version is free, afaik...
good luck

IPhone 4 will not detect ios7 update after it told me earlier that it did.

Earlier I went to update to ios7 on my iPhone 4 and it told me that it was available, but I didn't have enough space available. So I spent an hour saving photos and videos to my computer so I could delete them from my phone to make more room. Now that I have enough room, I went back into the settings to update and it says "ios 6.1.3 your software is up to date". What happened? Where did the ios7 update go?

The servers are probably overloaded with everyone trying to update to iOS 7 today. You might need to wait and try again later.

Itunes 10 will not run

Windows XP will not run iTunes 10. Clean install of Windows, installed and uninstalled twice. After agreeing to the itunes contact nothing happens. Running AVG free and it was disabled during the second install. What to do?

7 september 2010
For some reason (Firewall / Internet security programs?) the Apple iTunes installation program doesn't install all the necessary components.
There is a way to manually unpack the installation program to it's 6 different components and install each component one by one.
(Advantage: you don't need to uninstall or deactivate your security programs)
Best thing to do is:
1) Download the iTunes installation program (directly from the Apple website
http://www.apple.com )to your desktop,
WITHOUT INSTALLING the iTunes application.
2) Download he WinRAR decompression/unpack utility (for example from:
http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=recommended Downloads )
and install it on your desktop for easy use.
3) Unpack the iTunes installation program, using WinRAR by rightclicking the
iTunes installation program and choose 'Open with WinRAR'.
Don't bother with the message from WinRAR about files beïng corrupt
(these are probably the unreadable 'Apple Mac' files).
4) You'l see that the original iTunes installation program consists of 6
different installation programs.
4 utility programs (necessary for iTunes to work correctly)
- Apple Application Support (Version: 1.3.2)
- Apple Software Update (Version: 2.1.2.120)
- Apple Mobile Device Support (Version: 3.2.0.47)
- Bonjour (Version: 2.0.3.0)
and 2 main programs
- Quicktime
- iTunes
Copy these 6 programs to your desktop with WinRAR,
where they will appear unpacked.
5) Install each program one by one IN CORRECT ORDER:
- First the 4 utility programs, one by one.
- Following this, install QuickTime.
- Install iTunes as last.
6) Check the Windows installed programs list to see if they're all installed.
You can check the versions of te programs by clicking the information toolbar
for each program.
Good Luck..!
