I've personally patched way too many machines to agree that the cause is 2919355 itself. What I see is that the majority of the impacted folks have upgrade from multiple platforms. I am not seeing massive issues in the Server skus because they never got a 'free upgrade' and thus never went from build to build to build like the consumer skus did. If the root cause was merely KB2919355 I'd see issues in TechNet and much more widespread than I am. It is a concern that we still are not getting to a root cause and the best bet is a repair install.

This speaks to the failure of Microsoft, not end users. This was caused by Microsoft, whichever way you slice it. I do believe you make an excellent point that probably plays fairly highly into the issues surrounding KB2919355, however, upgrading from multiple platforms is not the fault of consumers. Microsoft made it impossible to clean install Windows 8 onto a HDD unless it contained a previously installed windows OS, and even then they were pushing upgrades and not selling system build discs except at 4x the price of their initial upgrade price. This took a bit of finagling to get around, and although a simple fix was discovered fairly shortly after Windows was RTM, most users wouldn't have been aware of it. Only those of us with experience in the pros of doing a clean install over an upgrade would have searched and found that if you installed a previous Windows OS on a HDD once, you could reformat the drive to your heart's content and clean install 8 as many times as you wanted. I ended up discovering this a day after multiple failed attempts at installing 8 on a brand new Momentus XT. The problem has always been Microsoft and their wish washy leadership and message with Windows 8, which was rushed to market earlier than it should of been and Microsoft suffered a huge backlash for it. End users can not be blamed for upgrading from multiple platforms when Microsoft was the reason they had to.

We can easily imagine that 10,000 computers are damaged. I think it would be about 0.01% of all Windows 8.1 installations, and Microsoft will not even make a patch for them. Look at this page, for example http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-winapps/issues-with-apps-not-loadingopening/6da2249b-c218-4f69-8046-8f7ac72138ea?page=3 The file CNBJ2530.DPB of prncacla.inf is corrupted. The date of this post - January 2014 This error is often repeated in other forums. The KB2919355 error leads us to the same packages. Is there the some relationship? The file CNBJ2530.DPB is not a compressed one while others are compressed in this package. Why? Do you remember the ClearCompressionFlag.exe ?

I simply don't know... I'm a novice at best, and only discovered the joy of using command line frequently late last year. I know more than the average user and love customizing my system directly from the registry, but I lack the internal technical knowledge of how windows operates. What I do know however is KB2919355 issues have plagued both users with and without prior issues in Windows. Why is a very good question... and I think it probably does have to do a lot with Ms. Bradley's hypothesis that it's affecting those users who upgraded to Windows 8 from a prior OS, especially since these issues aren't being replicated on machines running server editions of windows. Not all users fall into this group, but a significant portion probably do. Those that don't may fall into the category of accidental or forced shutdown of windows without realizing Windows Update was running in the background. This is more than likely what caused my issue with installing KB2919355.

CNBJ2530.DPB is the part of a Canon printer driver. In fact it is a 3-rd party program . But OEM vendors may implant it by default.
