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'm having the exact same problem. This has been going on for seven months and MS hasn't bothered to fix it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Anyway, I'm trying to upgrade a laptop. It is connected to an LTE carrier via a mifi device. The connection works properly (all sites load, downloads finish, etc.), but when I try this download, it starts, then immediately pops up with the aforementioned error message.
Would it be better to try the download later at night?
OK, Firstly, if you had actually BOTHERED to read centa von bacher's reply properly - or the thread to which it pertains, you would have seen that they ARE in the right thread, and were simply responding to someone else's fix suggestion.
Secondly, your "MVP" badge indicates that you have something to do with the Microsoft community, so your rude and obnoxious answers - apart from being unhelpful and unproductive - are completely unprofessional, unnecessary, and only add to the poor reputation of the staff. There is just no need to be rude to people like that, especially when they weren't being at all rude.
Thirdly, even if they were in wrong forum, what would be the point in them starting a new thread to get help with their issue when no help is forthcoming on this issue (or other issues in other threads I have followed). Like they said, this issue has been going since last October! It has 199 responses, and the only responses from Microsoft-connected people are ones like yours - rude, and of no help! So how about offering some real help, or else just butt out and go be a troll somewhere else - and maybe take a customer service course while you are at it.
this is the right forum for 8.1.
Thank you for clarifying that you are not looking for help. I suspected that but just wanted to check.
this is the right forum for 8.1. everyone talks about using ie and closing all the other browsers when installing 8.1 my point is that ie is not safe still. so lighten up a bit and stop being so rude. we have enough issues with Microsoft as it is
Why can't we get an answer that works. With the ie problem I have shut off mine
If you want help please start your own thread with your own details. This one is not about IE anyway, so you're not even in the right forum for asking a question about that.
