Windows 8.1 Update - Is this applicable to Windows 8 OS too?

Hi All,
Am a little confused. There's a recent update announced as per the link below:
http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/windowsexperience/archive/2014/04/02/windows-8-1-update-important-refinements-to-the-windows-experience.aspx
Can you please confirm if the above update is applicable to Windows 8 OS?
Is this something that can upgrade all windows systems from 8 to 8.1?
If Yes, is this possible via WSUS? If not, how?
A quick response would be appreciated!
Regards,
Raghu.M.C

Hi!
The update referred to in the article is for Windows 8.1, not Windows 8.
I would still update your Windows 8 to 8.1 and then apply Update 1 for Windows 8.1
This can be done with the help of WSUS.
Otherwise you will not get future updates from Microsoft!

When trying to open a link to a pdf, firefox opens continuous blank windows- only way to stop this crazy manic window opening is to force quit firefox.! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, but this is a problem that began immediately after I installed 9.0.1
this week...I haven't changed any settings that would cause this.

AirPort Express (first Generation) doesn't get recognized with latest Itunes. (everything has the latest updates). This is on WIndows 7. Just started today after getting latest Itunes Version.

I am sure this has been addressed, but I will ask again, and then start sifting through prior posts.
I have Windows 7, AirPort Express (First Generation), and the latest Itunes (11, I believe). All updates are current on the both the Itunes and AirPort Express. All of a sudden today, when wanting to play music off of Itunes (it does show that I have both outlets checked and in blue [my computer & airport]) after about a minute it displays a statement saying "The Network Connection Timed Out". And then finally plays on my computer. This just started today. It has always worked, and now, not sure what to do. I have unplugged and plugged back both the airport express and my router.
Any help would be so much appreciated. This is truly why I hesitate to get the newest version of Itunes. There always seems to be an issue. Anyway...HELP!

A bizarre update.
Decided to use the XP VM to handle the iPhone and it was downloading the latest update when it failed.
At that point Windows 7 iTunes popped up to say it had found an iPhone in recovery mode. I let it try a restore which also failed (VM couldn't complete the restore either).
Plugged the iPhone back in to my old PC to complete recovery and restore and then plugged it back in to the Windows 7 PC - which now can't see the iPhone!!
So it detected it when in recovery mode but not when it was functioning normally.
Are older versions of iTunes available to allow the backout of 10.4 which just seems so flaky on 64 bit Windows 7?

Windows 7 Ultimate Build 7600 This copy of Windows is not genuine

Hello,
I have a Lenovo desktop that I installed Windows 7 Ultimate on last fall. I obtained my legal copy of Windows 7 from Tiger Direct as a promotion that was giving away copies of Windows 7. I still have the envelope and installation cd, the installation cd looks
just like another copy of Windows 7 I got from Microsoft. I have been installing updates since the installation last fall. The message appears in the lower right hand side of my desktop screen.
According to a thread that I read a couple weeks ago, I checked my Updates and found that I have two Windows Updates that do not have Publishers. The updates are kb958488 and update kb 971033.
Any ideas on how I can correct this?
Thanks,
Peter

Sugestion: Make WIndows 8 bios updates show up in the Windows 7 page.

I have a sugestion to HP and not sure where to put it so i will put it here.
This issue really needs to be made more aware because a lot of people including myself had the problem and did not know what to do.
Apparently there is a known issue with some HP computers (around those from 2012 or so) that technically has the capiblity to have a hardware upgrade such as a new graphics card installed (mostly for the elite set of PCs) but that the computer itself would lock the user out of the upgrade
The issue seems to be that if you are using an older bios you likely will not be able to install the new hardware
For those who have windows 7 you may wish to check on your product page under windows 8 to see if there is a bios update. Because it is not listed under windows 7 because "technically" the bios update is mainly for windows 8 BUT it seems to fix the critical issue preventing the new hardwear from working.
so HP may need to put that bios update on the windows 7 secton of the product page drivers and just add a footnote "While this bios update is mainly for windows 8 it apparently can fix some "hardware lockout issue" for new hardware on windows 7 too." :-)

Perhaps HP didn't do regression testing with the version 8 BIOS and Windows 7 hence the reason why it's not posted under Windows 7. Many of the new functions with a version 8 BIOS are only supported under Windows 8. However, your point is well taken.

Message R of screen last week "WINDOWS VISTA (TM) BUILD 6002 THIS COPY OF WINDOWS IS NOT GENUINE

compaq pc sr5109uk operating system Vista.

Trust me, if it's a virus, it's the cleverest little virus that ever was -- I ran just about every scan that I could throw at it, and I'm pretty careful with where I go/what I do and download. (Usually I'm the one cleaning malware off my friends' computers; I know what to look for in general, as well as what to avoid).
I do have an extended service plan. I took it in to Best Buy today and they told me, oh so helpfully, that the sticker on the bottom was unreadable, and there was nothing that they could do, but that they reccommended essentially wiping it to factory settings, which is what I'm actually trying rather desperately to avoid. (I have wayyy to many programs/preferences that I have no desire to reinstall).
I would never have bought Vista if I'd had a choice; it was literally the only option I could afford at the time that I bought the computer. I would've paid to downgrade, but this computer doesn't run XP -- the drivers are incompatible, or somesuch reason. (I considered using nLite and making a custom XP install, but I wasn't sure I was up to it, and it wasn't worth buying an extra license for it if I wasn't sure it could handle it.) At the time that I bought it, Windows 7 was still unavailable to the general public.

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 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

"This copy of Windows isn't genuine"

Yesterday I attempted to update my Windows Vista, but when the computer restarted an error message appeared AFTER I logged into Windows. There was a black screen and just three lines on the bottom right:
Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6000
This copy of Windows isn't genuine
I was able to get to Mac by pressing the option button on startup, but I cannot access Windows. I don't know what happened, because I've been using Windows for almost two years and now it's telling me my copy isn't "genuine". How can I remedy this problem? Thanks!

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
this can only be resolved by Microsoft.
Have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsGenuineAdvantage and here http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en/genuinevista/thread/ff4e57b0-7ff8-4f06-8d5 3-cc3f5394fb94
Might be that giving Microsoft a call and ask for a new activation key is the only way out.
Good Luck

"Build 6002: This copy of Windows is not genuine"

Hi everyone..
I have had my TOSHIBA Satellite L40-139 for over a year. It was bought from PC World and came with a pre-installed version of Windows Vista Home Premium. I do not have any of the disks that came with the laptop but the Windows installed is genuine.
I went to install Vista Service Pack 2 having downloaded it. I restarted my laptop only to find my desktop wallpaper had gone and been replaced with a black background and the following in the bottom-right corner of the desktop:
Windows Vista (TM)
Build 6002
This copy of Windows is not genuine
This was followed by a pop-up window with two options, 'Activate Now' or 'Activate Later', followed by an error pop-up that says Windows must be re-installed as an "Unauthorised change has been made...please insert CD or DVD". If I press 'Activate Now' it just goes to another pop-up that says I can contact TOSHIBA. If I click the link it just goes to a standard 'Help' screen!
I don't know what to do..I have the COA product key sticker intact and have tried entering it but it just comes back with various errors. It's as if as soon as I installed service pack 2 I've had problems. Again I do not have Vista or a toshiba recovery disk (I don't even know if it came with one). I have tried restoring Windows but it just returns with the same screens!
HELP!!
PS. Is the Toshiba support line a free number? Does anyone know a number that is free to call from mobiles? (I do not have a landline).

> As per my first post I do not have a Recovery DVD as mine didn't come with one..I take it I must be doing something wrong and there is another way to sort this? Even the Toshiba product spec states that no recovery DVD comes with it.
As per my first posting I wrote clearly that new notebooks dont come with recovery discs but with HDD recovery only and you must create recovery disc alone. Everything is described in Users manuals document. If you dont read it and dont pick up info about your notebook I cannot help you about it.
If you cannot start HDD recovery installation as described in Toshiba document then something must be screwed up. Why? I dont know.
You can try method posted by Paolo but if this will not help you must install OS again or activate preinstalled version. If you dont have possibility to install original recovery image you can order new disc under https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or try to clarify situation with nearest Toshiba service. Call them, explain the situation and maybe you will get one for free.
Sorry but I dont know what else to say.

Hot Fix error message for KB979344 "this update is not applicable to your computer", on Windows 7 64 bit with SP1

I've been having issues with an external Esata drive. Instead of being seen as a removeable drive, it is seen as a hard drive. This has caused us nothing but problems since our full disk encryption software automatically starts to encrypt
the drive rendering it useless.
The real problem I'm having is installing the Hot Fix, KB979344, for this issue. when tring to install, I get the message, "this update is not applicable to your computer" I've looked and this hot fix doesn't seem to be part of SP1, but
I could be missing it. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keithk,
This hotfix is already contained in Windows 7 Service Pack 1.
Please add the registry key to check if the issue persists. (For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. )
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Storage
Create a DWORD Value, name SATAHotplugPolicyOverride,
set 1 in Value Data.
Restart the computer to check if it works.

Miya

Windows Virtual PC (KB958559) will not install, "This update is not applicable to your computer."

Windows Virtual PC KB958559 never installs. It says "This update is not applicable to your computer." Here are my details...
Dell Inspiron M6400, Intel Core2 Duo T9550, Hardware Virtualization is present and has been enabled in bios which was updated recently
Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, build 7600.16539.x86fre.win7_gdr.100226-1909
Any ideas? I have seen the other posts but nothing seemed to be a solution. Another strange behavior that may (or may not) be related is that when I try to load the "Turn Windows features on or off" the box loads blank.

Firstly, please read the following article on how to resolve the blank dialog box of “Windows Features”:
The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes
the following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"
Then,
empty the Temporary Internet files and %Temp% folder.
At last, download
Windows Virtual PC again and install it.

Windows Server 2008 R2: "The update is not applicable to your computer"

ALCON,
I'm trying to install a "Windows Update Standalone Installer" file (Windows6.1-KB3032323-x64.msu) along with other .msu files and I keep getting the same message: "The update is not applicable to your computer". The server is a
virtual machine and is also the vCenter server for the system, so I REALLY don't want to mess this installation up and break the system but the installation is needed and mandatory. How can I go about installing these .msu files.
*Note* The system is located in a classified environment so it doesn't have a connection to the outside (unclassified) world. But I'm able to have the .msu files placed on the system at any time.
Thanks!
V/r,
Stanley L. Johnson Jr.
