Windows 8.1 Update Error Code: 0x80240031

same problem

i finally got my 8.1 installed.....i changed from my user sign in to my administrator sign in in th upper right corner of main screen....once in as administrator i opened store and installed it.....TOOK FOREVER i think it was well over an hour to completely install...and i don't think i like it...some apps i was using are no longer available  and it puts bing everywhere  oh well...got some rearranging to do i guess.

I'm having this problem as well but I don't even get to start downloading anything. It just says 0% then 'Something happened' along with the error 0x80240031

Has anyone tried installing this update after doing a reset of Windows 8?
