Windows 8.1 Update 1 Enterprise Availability

My university offers Windows 8 Enterprise to students and staff. When 8.1 came out, Enterprise users couldn't get the update from the Windows Store and had to get it at the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC). Essentially, we had to wait on our IT
department to offer the 8.1 update on their software site.
Is that going to be the case with Windows 8.1 Update 1 or will we be able to update to it through the Windows Store / Automatic Updates?

According to the following article :
Windows 8.1 Update 1 Hits RTM
"Microsoft plans to deliver Windows 8.1 Update 1 to MSDN subscribers on April 2 and then via Windows Update on April 8."

This is what other people are experiencing as well.
I installed Update 1 via Windows Update.
IE11 Desktop stopped functioning.
Several menu options were disabled.
No link or typing a URL in the address bar worked.
Modern IE 11 appeared to be functioning properly initially.
Reset was not working. Erroneously reported windows open even after restarting the machine with absolutely no 3rd party software running.
I have uninstalled/disabled all add-ons etc.
No 3rd party AntiVirus is installed.
I have scanned the system using Windows Defender. All clear.
Following troubleshoot instructions I disabled and enabled IE from Windows Features. This didn't help either.
After re-enabling IE, no version of it functions at all.
I have used the sfc /scannow process, it found files being corrupt and fixed them. Yet IE is still not working.
All other browsers work like a charm and all online features of Windows work as expected.

Windows 8.1 Update 1 for Enterprise

I got the license for Windows 8.1 from my MSDN subscription which is not affiliated with an IT Department as I got the subscription through being a student partner. Hence, today when I tried to update to Windows 8.1 Update 1, I could not find the
update in the Update or Store. Does anyone know how I can resolve this issue for my particular case?
Kind regards,
Oscar

HDMI output not working after Windows 8.1 update

I am using an Envy TouchSmart 15 and I have just run an update of Windows 8.1 based on the system auto update (it ran 5 updates). Prior to the update, I used a 27" monitor as the main screen and this was connected via the HDMI port. Right after the update, the system doesn't seem to recognise the HDMI port anymore and it goes back to using the Envy laptop screen as the main screen. I changed the HDMI cable but it made no difference. I subsequently connected another laptop to the 27" monitor via HDMI and it worked fine. So it appears both the monitor and the HDMI cable are fine. Please can you help ?

Hey yawbus,
I would first like to welcome you to the HP Forums!
Thank you for sharing the troubleshooting steps that you have done already, and I will say you are correct that the issue is not with the HDMI Cable, or the 27" monitor. From what you have described in your post, it does sound as though the issue is with the drivers, possibly a conflict.
I would like to start of with installing the original video drivers that came with your notebook. I have included the document 'Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8)'. Please follow through the steps for just reinstalling the original video drivers. After the original drivers have been installed, please restart your computer.
Now once the computer has restarted, you will need to install any updates that are available for both HP, and Windows. You can install both of these through the HP Support Assistant. I have included the document 'Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8)'. Scroll down the page about halfway, and you should see an option for Updates and tune-ups. Please follow the options for HP updates, and Windows updates.
If you are still experiencing the same issue after the above troubleshooting steps, please let me know the full model number of your Envy TouchSmart 15. I have included the document 'Guide to finding your product number'. As well, please confirm the current version of Windows that you are running. If you need assistance in finding the version, I have included the document 'Which Windows operating system am I running?'.
Looking forward to your reply!

I can't update my iPhoto. "Update is not available for this Apple ID".

Updating my iPhoto has always been a problem. When I try, I get the error of: "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."
This is the only apple ID I have ever owned, and now that I updated my Mac with the new software, I can't even OPEN iPhoto anymore. Now I can't view any of my photos and I am not a happy camper..
How can I fix this problem?????
Thanks in Advance!

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

So I just updated to the newest update that was available for safari and iTunes but now it won't let me go on the Internet using safari and it also won't let me sync my songs ,,,,,it takes forever to back up my iPad AND my iPod so what can I do ?

If you're on windows try the following:
This worked for me an hour ago and has allowed me to sync ok. Still haven't tried downloading the new version 5 to the phone yet as I'm still backing up photos etc just in case.
1. Quit itunes
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> right click Command Prompt -> Run as Administrator)
3. Once in the command prompt type the following 3 words starting where your cursor is flashing: netsh winsock reset
4. press ENTER
5. Reboot your machine
6. Restart itunes & connect device to sync
7. Good luck

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.

I don't recall installing any 3rd parth USB drivers and this comptuer is an older Lenovo ThinkCenter that only has USB 2 ports.
I used devcon driverfiles * > hardware.txt to export all of the hardware and driver files in use on my system and did not find any reference to
usbxhci.inf
Any suggestions ?

Thank you for the link.
I tried the windows upate repair but that did not fix the issue. I also manualy run the sfc /scannow and now errors were found
I found that the driver updates are logged in file setupapi.dev.log, Where I can see more errors that relate to usbxhci.inf, this occurs at the same time as the cbs.log errors.

Unable to boot from ODD or USB after windows 8.1 update on P850-31L

Hi
I just updated a P850-31L to windows 8.1 from windows 8 through the windows store.
Before the update I was able to boot from a USB drive by pressing F12 during start up.
After the update I was no longer able to boot from the USB drive. Selecting the USB drive by changing the boot order in BIOS setup via F2 or by pressing F12 no longer works.
Booting from ODD is also no longer possible.
The BIOS version is 6.70 and does not allow secure boot to be disabled. However the DVD and the USB stick I tried are signed Ubuntu 12.10 which worked prior to the upgrade. Fastboot in windows 8.1 is disabled.
This would then appear to be a bug in the Toshiba BIOS? Or has the windows 8.1 updated the BIOS or the EFI boot partition in such a way as to override the BIOS setting? Really stuck here, doesn't seem to be much information about.
Any thoughts or assistance would be very much appreciated!
Thanks
Michael
Update: I just tried booting from the Toshiba windows 8 recovery DVD and this no longer works either.
Message was edited by: michael_toshiba_forum

OK I fixed this.
Firstly it's worth noting that it is possible to to disable secure boot in the 6.70 BIOS.
However this option is only available when the user password is not set in the security menu.
After enabling or disabling the password a reboot is required to make the secure boot enable/disable option either available or unavailable.
That's good I suppose as I guess it may prevent secure boot from being disabled when the machine is running. However this does not appear to have been related to this issue.
I selected the 'reset to factory defaults' option on the exit menu.
The machine was then able to boot from USB and DVD. The boot order was also respected.
Perhaps the windows 8.1 upgrade somehow invisibly corrupted the BIOS settings. Or maybe it was just a stranage co-incidence that the BIOS corrupted itself during the install. Either way that factory reset fixed it.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 update 1

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/04/02/windows-81-update-1-is-coming-april-8-here-are-new-features/?intcmp=obnetwork
At Build 2014, Microsoft’s annual developer-focused conference, the company dished out some details about Windows 8.1 Update 1, the first significant Windows update since it became available back in October. Here’s a rundown of the changes that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will bring about once it’s released as a free update for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 users on April 8, which happens to be Microsoft’s next regularly scheduled Patch Tuesday.
Boot straight to the Desktop:
As was previously rumored, Windows 8.1 Update 1 will allow users to boot and resume straight to the classic desktop UI, allowing them to bypass the tiled Modern UI altogether. This will likely be a welcome feature considering that the Modern portion of Windows 8 hasn’t been well received since it debuted back in late 2012.
Changes to the Taskbar
With Windows 8.1 Update 1, you can use both desktop programs and Windows Store apps from the classic desktop UI. Windows Store apps will also work on the desktop UI’s Taskbar as well, and a new button on the Taskbar will permit you to access the Windows Store without forcing you to dive into the Modern UI to do so. With Windows 8.1 Update 1, the Taskbar will be accessible while using Modern apps by moving your mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.
Tweaks to the Modern UI Start screen:
The Modern UI Start screen will also receive some tweaks, including dedicated Power and Search buttons. The addition of a dedicated power button in the Start Screen will allow users to power their PCs off without having to open the Charms menu, shaving some seconds off the process of shutting down their systems. Newly installed Modern apps will be labeled “New,” and will pull up a drop-down menu when right-clicked, as opposed to the bar on the bottom of the screen.
Overall, Windows 8.1 Update 1 is a minor refresh as opposed to a dramatic makeover. Microsoft also reiterated that Windows 8.1 Update 1 will drop the minimum system requirements to 1GB of RAM and only require 16GB of storage, allowing the OS to run on lower-end PCs.
We look forward to spending time with Windows 8.1 Update 1 once its released next week, and we’ll follow up with our hands-on impressions as well.

In my opinion (and I'm not the only one):
Windows 8 was a bad move (same as Vista).
Windows 8.1 is a roll back to Windows 7.
p.s.
"Fast boot" is a feature useful for those who boot up the computer all day long.
The main problem is that it's a recipe for problems.
It's based on hibernation (a snapshot of the last working config).
Many people already got corrupted system files after shut down and a minor hardware change.
Simply because the saved snapshot didn't fit with the current config anymore.
That's the (huge) price for those 5-10 seconds boot up time.

Windows 8.1 - Update consideration, resources, and known issues

This community KB article is being consolidated to help Lenovo customers who are early adopters of the Windows 8.1 update. This article will be frequently updated to include information on recommendation on issues that have been reported and are currently being addressed by Lenovo product teams. It is recommended that a backup of all data be made prior to starting the Windows 8.1 update.
Official Lenovo Windows 8 and 8.1 Support resources - list of officially supported systems, information on license keys, activation, upgrade / downgrade rights and more.
Update Drivers before upgrading to Windows 8.1. At this time Lenovo recommends that customers who are planning to install the Windows 8.1 update, first update to the latest version of device drivers and BIOS on the Lenovo support site and apply Windows updates. Lenovo customers who are using ThinkPad, ThinkStation, ThinkCentre systems may elect to use the System Update to accomplish the Lenovo driver updates before updating to Windows 8.1. System update 5.03 should be used. If system update is downlevel, it should first update itself to version 5.03. Windows 8.1 drivers are being packaged and made available for automated install through System Update; therefore initially a limited number of 8.1 updates may be reported through System update. Updated drivers can still be installed manually by downloading from the support site. Lenovo is currently working on the release and availability of Windows 8.1 drivers through system update.
Not finding 8.1 drivers for officially supported models on the Lenovo support site?  The driver list for some systems ( Helix for example) currently reflect a mix of drivers for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1. The Windows 8 drivers should work and have been tested, and compatibility designations are being revised to clearly reflect compatibility with Windows 8.1. This updating of descriptions is expected to complete in early November
SOLVED -SecureBoot advisory message appears in lower right corner of the screen after updating to Windows 8.1. This appears to occur if SecureBoot was not enabled when the update was installed. This community article may help resolve the issue. Microsoft has released an official solution here
Windows 8.1 update is not listed in the Microsoft Store. There are certain prerequisites that must be installed before the Windows 8.1 update will be installed. Be sure to run Windows update and install all updates. Reboot according to instructions, then re-launch the Windows Store and select Microsoft Windows 8.1 update. For additional information on updating from the Microsoft Windows 8.1 preview to Windows 8.1 click here. If the Windows 8.1 update is still not available, please visit support.microsoft.com
Windows 8.1 update fails with an error code. Try to refresh and ensure all Windows updates have been applied. If a backup of all data has already been made, customers may elect to reset back to factory, perform all Windows updates, update Lenovo drivers, and then attempt the Windows 8.1 update again. Please note: Reset back to factory will wipe out all data.
SOLVED - Black Screen with flashing pointer after install on some hybrid graphics equipped systems , S440/540, T430/530   W530 could potentially be affected. This issue has been addressed and Windows 8.1 updates on these models conducted after 10/29/13 should proceed normally. A Lenovo support tip for S series has been released to assist any previously affected customers. Another tip for T430/530 and W530 series is available, too.

I have a z580 Ideapad that came with Windows 8.0. Some materials on the Lenovo site indicate that this laptop should not be updated to Windows 8.1 due to provides with the video driver, other materials indicate that it is OK. Has the video driver issue been resolved? Are there other Windows 8.1 upgrade issues? Maybe I should avoid problems and just stay with WIndows 8.0.

Windows 8.1 update error 0xc1900101 - 0x40017, Solved?

I got this error 0xc1900101 - 0x40017 when i try to update to windows 8.1.
so i tried updating my drivers, uninstalling, updating, re installing the old version of drivers that came with this laptop and updating and still didn't work.
i thought it might be the some application on this computer that's causing this problem. and i thought avast was causing this problem, because it was not compatible with windows 8 when it came out, and it has kernal driver.
so i uninstalled it and tried to install windows 8.1 update, and guess what? it worked.
but why didn't the windows 8.1 update assistant didn't warn me about this?
didn't it know about this?
the update assistant said my bluetooth is out of date even though i updated it with the link update manager gave.
it just kept saying update it available even thou i installed it and rebooted my computer.

Windows 8.1 update via Intune software deployment

Hi Forum
Is it possible to push or make available the Windows 8.1 update via Windows Intune software deployment?
This is for laptops.
Thanks in advance

Yes it will be, but not yet. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/79d259ff-47ff-4728-8ee9-28a5e06e5ba5/i-dont-see-httpsupportmicrosoftcomkb2919355-within-updates-for-windows-intune-is-it-out-of?forum=windowsintuneprod

Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Spring update KB2919355) - User Profile Service failed the sign-in

After installing Windows 8.1 Update 1 (Spring update KB2919355), our enterprise Windows 8.1 image began getting User Profile Service failed the sign-in. Uninstalling the update fixes the issue. The update somehow modifies the default user
profile causing write access issues which is evident in the event viewer.
Things I tried:
1) Re-applying parent permissions to Default profile folder
2) Disable CopyProfile before sysprep
3) Creating a new image with Windows 8.1 Update 1 ISO from Microsoft
None of them seem to work. I believe update 2919355 will be needed to continue getting future Windows 8.1 update. I might try looking at the specific files that the User Profile Service is complaining about but it seems to be random.
Anyone else experience this?

"Place your rig specifics into your signature like I have, makes it 100x easier to understand!"
I should have included this. It does it on all of our machine builds (we have a few) including VMs.
"try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2919355
if
a fresh manual install does not work use
the tools here"
Did all of this already at the request of MS and also ran a trace utility they sent me and submitted the results. The Trace revealed nothing remarkable to the analysts that gave any indication of what is causing this.
MS has acknowledged that there is a problem and for me it has to be an enterprise fix, not an individual run around to every computer. I have tried removing everything non-Microsoft and will try removing APP-V 5. If it works I will let them know, but
we can't operate the enterprise without APP-V so this wouldn't be a solution. The trouble is that it is so random that we thought we had it fixed by removing AV and were going to start looking in that direction and it turned out that if you just kept hammering
it with the logins that it would still manifest, as it has done with everything I have tried so far.
