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

DISM /online /get-packages /format:table | findstr KB2919355

DISM /online /remove-dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB2919355~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.3.1

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

DISM /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase

cleanmgr.exe

@echo off

Echo Cleanup complete

    F***It I've finally managed to grab a windows 8.1 ISO and I'm gonna go for a refresh.. Wish me luck, I NEED IT!

    Refresh and manual install worked for me. Time consuming and shouldn't have been necessary at all. Thanks for the help M$!

    In watching this thread, for those people who have had the issue of Update 1 not installing, and not been able to resolve it through the combination of steps and DISM commands previously documented, repair or reload operations seem to work.

    As my three successful updates were all on systems I personally installed from an installation disk (two using Windows 8.1 and the third using Windows 8 and then upgraded via disk to 8.1), and many people here are reporting issues that seem related to OEM installations (either tablets or new systems preloaded with a version of Windows 8 or 8.1), but often resolved by a repair/reload operation, I would suggest that this issue is somehow related to the OEM images, imaging techniques, or software installed along with the OEM images.  If that is the case, and people do not want to repair/reload (or do not have the capability to do so), then many people will simply have to wait for Microsoft to identify the root cause of the issue, and to release a patch.  And in my personal opinion, Microsoft will either issue a patch prior to the next "Patch Tuesday", or will relax the requirement, because they will not allow Windows 8.1 systems to be left in an unpatchable state.  As an IT person, I sympathize with all of your frustrations in installing this update (and Microsoft should have done a better job of testing this prior to release), but all I can simply tell you to be patient.  Microsoft WILL fix this.

    (For those who do not know, OEM refers to the special versions of Microsoft software provided to hardware vendors for installation on the hardware they sell.  Although most of the bits are the same as the versions available in retail packages or via download from Microsoft, they have some vendor specific features - for example, being configured to bypass activation if, and only if, the software is installed on the vendor's own hardware.)

    I have been having the same issue trying to install 355.   I've tried just about everything here and keep getting the rollback right at 100%.  So frustrating.

    Some of the DSIM commands indicate I have corruption that is not reparied so I assume I need the whole repair install thing.

    How do I go about getting an 8.1 ISO?  Do I have to call MS support because I don't really feel like a 2 hour marathon call.

    FYI.... this was originally a windows 7 PC that  I replaced the main hard drive and installed a clean install of windows 8.0.   Never had any issues until I tried to install this update.
