2014-03-02T20:24:36+00:00 I was having this error also. I updated to 8.1 when it came out in October with no problem. This weekend out of nowhere my computer started to have issues which I was unable to fix using any program. So I then had to reformat my hard drive. I had to go back to Windows 7, then update using my Windows 8 Pro download that I bought online, then update to 8.1 via the store and the error occurred. I tried about 10 times and error every time. I updated all updates via Windows Update and tried a lot of suggestions on this site to no avail. However, I was on wireless and I connected via an Ethernet cord and it worked! Good luck everyone!

2014-02-28T11:32:08+00:00 I just did. I tried every effin thing that this website told me to do! But nothing works. When I shut all firewalls of my antivirus and defenders down, it stoped at 8% not even 50%. I think Microsoft needs to work on that! Coz my laptop is compatible for it! Anyway, thanks for your help and I'm glad it worked for you :)
