I am getting error code 0x80240031 during download of Windows 8.1 for 50% of Downloading. Can anybody help me fix this?
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have tried all those workarounds posted in various forums. None of them worked! Download fails as it reaches close to 50%. Tried more than 10 times so far, after clearing store cache, software distribution folder etc. etc.
Finally, decided not to upgrade to 8.1. Peace...
I have done everything. But nothing works. I got Windows from the time I purchased. That means already installed by manufacturer. But still the same.
Please see into it asap
YES!!! MICROSOFT!! im getting angry! Im having the same problem as well! im a bit surprised Microsoft has not being helpful! :|
That's easy. Install Win7 64-Bit and give up the chase for something that isn't worth chasing in the first place.
I'm not being cynical...just questioning what the ultimate goal is. Stability...productivity...predictability...makes my day. Spending a huge amount of my time chasing the solution to a problem that isn't even a problem unless you absolutely must have Win 8 is just a bad use of a very finite resource called time.
Okay. But how do I fix it?
