KB2919355 (Windows 8.1 Update) Fails (800f0092 and 80073712) on Windows 8.1 Pro w Media Center

Anonymous

I am running Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center. It is a 64-bit edition.

I downloaded the Windows 8.1 Update from MSDN. Installed it on two machines with no problems.

Update is a series of 6 updates packed in a single zip file. Unzipped the files. Went to install the first recommended update (KB2919442). Dialog box indicated it was already installed.

Went to install the second update (KB2919355). It ran through the dialogs and said installation completed. It indicated that a reboot was necessary. Rebooted. It began to install the update after the reboot. Got about 60% of the way through, then said it couldn't complete. Error message 800F0092.

Had successfully installed on two other machines, one a VM and one a Samsung tablet. Only difference is this computer is 1) Media Center, and 2) was running WebRoot antimalware agent.

Uninstalled WebRoot.

Retried the install. Got about 98% through the dialog (green progress bar almost at 100%), went it stopped and the dialog said Update Failed.

Error message in the update history is now 80073712.

Please note that's 64bit only

To make that work on 32bit do:

Also note AMD does not mean this only works on AMD chipsets. AMD invented the 64bit platform, so even if you are running 64bit intel, that amd64 notation is still valid.

sfc /scannow

The purported "reversion" took over an hour. To my surprise I logged in to 8.1 with KB2919355 "mostly" applied. I say mostly because the update had been applied but windows didn't know it yet.

Power button and search present on metro interface. Store icon was pinned to start bar. 8.1 Update function present when you right-click on a tile.

Next I visited windows update. Forced a rescan and KB2919355 is still showing as available. This is not a machine I use for production or business. I had nothing to lose at this point. Click check, update now. The update downloaded again and installed. Restart now... Working on Updates 0%-30%..... System shut itself off.

Press power button. Starts right up. Log in, visit windows update. Offered KB2933809. Applied. Check for updates.... I'm finally done. Only 3 SP2's to go.

Mario, thank you. No doubt your post sent me down the right path.

Good luck everyone!

I have not received Kb2919355 via windows update. I did receive it on all my other computers.

I was not replying to a post of yours. That being said...

KB2919355 is being slowly rolled-out to Win8.1 computers worldwide. A given computer might not be offered KB2919355 until (much) later this month.

Really? Slowly? What proof do you have of this? I was offered it on Tuesday and I certainly am not special. I have to think most everyone else had it in their WU on that day as well. At least in the US.

I am right with you Michael! Nothing has worked for me so far. I refuse to do a clean boot or a refresh.
