Solve : Updates on windows 8? |
| Answer» <html><body><p>My computer tells me to restart in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/order-238912" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ORDER">ORDER</a> to update,so I restart and it <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/appears-881937" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about APPEARS">APPEARS</a> to be updating-it says "configuring windows updates (ascending number)% complete do not turn off your computer",and then when it finishes another message comes up " failure configuring windows updates,reverting changes do not turn off your computer".So I seem unable to get these updates. Does anyone know what's going wrong here? Many thanks in advance.LesGIn the Windows Update Manager it should show which update(s) exactly failed to install. Can you check there and share with us the KB numbers that are listed as failed. Also just a quick check, your system has plenty of free hard drive space and this Operating System is a licensed legal copy of it that your running and not a cracked OS?Thanks Dave, I have checked my update history and find that I've failed to install on these 15 KB numbers :- 2855336 2928678 3003663 2955163 2756872 2889784 2883201 28622768 2920189 2975331 2770917 2962407 2903938 2876415 3087985. I've cleared some file space,and tried again,but they still wouldn't update.Hi are you sure that these updates are for windows 8 or are they for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/7-240263" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 7">7</a> only the only number I can find in my update history that matches yours is 3087985 and that is important and it is for internet explorer 11.<br/>For 8 and 8.1 they should be starting with 307<br/>that is probably why they did not go in if you have upgraded or reinstalled so they could be for windows 7 <br/>I did re-install a few weeks ago after a problem getting into my email account,so the updates might be the wrong ones for my system. How can I tell which system I'm on, Windows 7 or 8 ?I found I'm on windows 8,and went into the windows store to upgrade to windows 8.1. The upgrade failed,with the error code Ox 80240031This is what I found on the above code and what you have to do<br/><br/>How to Fix Windows 8.1 Error code: 0x80240031 while Updating Before you try to update to Windows 8.1 be sure that you have a stable and fast internet connection. The size of the update is 3.62GB! That’s almost downloading the full version of Windows 8.1. It is also suggested that you download or try to update during off peak hours on your area or country.<br/><br/>Method 1: Using the SFC /SCANNOW <br/><br/><a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/press-605361" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PRESS">PRESS</a> the Windows button + X on your keyboard, a mini dialogue box will appear <br/>2. Choose Command Prompt (Admin). You must run the command prompt in Administrator level <br/>3. On the command prompt type sfc /scannow and hit enter <br/>4. If everything went okay and no errors where found, restart your computer and try updating again <br/>5. If errors where found, try to fix it using DISM. <br/>6. On the same command prompt window type Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth <br/>7. After the repair is complete, restart your computer and try updating now.<br/><br/>Note: I have done this process but another error came out while I was executing DISM. <br/><br/>Method 2: Try Automatic Repair <br/>1. Go to search or hit Windows button + Q <br/>2. From the search click “Settings” found on the right side and type Advanced Startup Options and hit enter <br/>3. This will open the PC Settings in General category. Scroll down and <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/look-544452" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOOK">LOOK</a> for “Advanced Startup” and click Restart Now <br/>4. Click Troubleshoot and then click Advanced options, then finally hit Automatic Repair <br/><br/>Method 3: Do A Refresh <br/>1. The steps here are similar to the method 2 since they are found on the same menu/settings. <br/>Go to search or hit Windows button + Q<br/> 2. From the search click “Settings” found on the right side and type Advanced Startup Options and hit enter <br/>3. This will open the PC Settings in General category. Scroll down and look for “Refresh your PC without Affecting your Files” and click Get Started when you are ready. From there just follow the instructions. Be sure to back up your files. You might lose data on the process. <br/><br/>Note: I personally have not tried methods 2 and 3 because I haven’t made a backup of my system yet. But I’m going for method 4, and probably method 5 in the future. <br/><br/>Method 4: All Else Fails, Try and Try Again Okay, you have tried everything and still you can’t update to Windows 8.1 because of the Error code: 0x80240031. I also found out that other users were able to update to Windows 8.1 with patience and perseverance to hit the Try Again button or trying again on a later time. Some users claim that they were finally able to update to Windows 8.1 just by simple trying again and again and again. <br/>Method 5: Don’t Update Now and Just Get the Full Version Here If you are not in a hurry to update, or you are in a hurry and you don’t want to waste time, and you have some extra $100-$189, I suggest you just get the full version of the Windows 8.1 and do a fresh and clean install later.<br/> <br/>Both the Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Pro are available now. Why am I suggesting that you get a full version instead? Well imagine this, what if you need to do a fresh installation of windows in the near future? After you have successfully installed Windows 8, you again need to update and download the whole Windows 8.1 again. <br/>Chances are you might encounter the same problem again. So to save you of the trouble and your time being wasted, just get the full version instead.</p></body></html> | |
