    Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based systems (KB2955164)

    Error Code: 8007002

    Hex error codes are always shown with 8 nibbles (4 bytes) and usually it is most effective to search for them with a 0x prefix.

    (Microsoft search for

        0x80070002 windows update fail KB2955164

    )

    Same as others. KB2919355. No error code, just "undoing changes". Tries again in same reboot sequence but fails.

    Using Win 8.1 Pro. Started with Win 8 and updated to 8.1, still on the same HDD.

    This really is a pain because it means I have to install all updates manually, making sure I uncheck KB2919355. If I set it to install updates automatically, then I have to wait 10minutes while it reboots and fails to install KB2919355.
