Windows 8.1 Update Error Code: 0x80240031

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?

I  tried it last night and again this morning.  Only thing running on this machine is Windows 8 and Office 2013.  Still getting the same 0x80240031 error. I have noticed some network issues on my end.  I'll try again after I get the network connection fixed.

After numerous attempts I finally got the update to download and install. After the computer rebooted I got the blue screen with a pfn list corrupt message. After that the computer reverted back to 8.0

For what it's worth I had been using a wireless connection, so I wired the laptop straight to the modem and successfully downloaded. ONLY to find in the end another set of error codes and the message that it couldn't update and had restored to my original version, i.e. W8Pro. Back to the drawing boards.

I am getting error code 0x80240031 during download of Windows 8.1 for 50% of Downloading. Can anybody help me fix this?

I am having the same issue for updating from windows8 Pro to Windows8.1 Professional. I am pissed at this point. There are no updates for me to update, and the windows 8.1 app in the store never finishes downloading. I am beyond pissed at windows anyways.

I have the same problem
