Original title: recurring error on windows 8.1 update
i have been trying to update my current windows 8.1 to windows 8.1 update but run to so many errors namely 80246007 , 8024000B , 80073712 , 80070002 i tried doing the dism.exe thing from the command line but the error just keeps coming back also i followed this http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42335 to isolate which KB is the error coming from (KB2919355)
i also tried manual install but the same error i am pretty much frustrated and there is the threat that if you don't update to windows 8.1 update you wont receive future patches ironically you can't install the update
any help will do
thank you

2014-05-05T08:52:13+00:00 i totally agree with you about the threat of discontinued support if we fail to upgrade to windows 8.1 update
they also gave me the suggestion cpu reset which i think is the most insane suggestion and it will cost me more
so what now microsoft? after all the update is the one at fault

It's still not working. Or, is this now somehow the "users" problem. I'm afraid that re-installing Windows 8 and then 8.1 is not really a satisfactory option as I have a lot of programmes loaded..all working without problem, and to spend the best part of this coming week re-installing them and updating service packs etc, is not a viable option, nor is is cost effective for my clients. I refuse to believe that there is somehow "something wrong" with my Windows 8.1 installation, and I believe that there IS something wrong with this "critical" update.
Further, to threaten us with the statement that if we don't install this non-installable update we will not receive further important updates, is, in my view, unacceptable.
