Cannot install 8.1 free update after reinstall 8

OK, I'm back after receiving the HP recovery discs. 8.0 has been installed disks successfully, and free upgrade even icon who was present when I bought the PC was still there. I was able to select the upgrade and start the download and installation. Everything went along very well until it reached the point where a reboot is required "to complete the installation". After a delay, the computer showed a message saying that the installion failed and the operating system had been restored 8.0. This kind of thing drives me crazy.

I heard that repeating the same thing again and again all expecting different results is a sign of a disturbed mind. I tried a second time and it worked, so working with computers more like roll: a different result is likely. Maybe the magic was possible because I asked the question here.

    I am running Vista Home Premium and it used to install SP 1 not to mention all the others.  The short time the system even gave me a notice a few times that I was not running genuine Windows software even if it is enabled and varified authentic by Microsoft support. I had to install today and it restarts after installing 3 3 parts of the CIP of service. After the restart, he says that the update was not installed and there we reversed to where we started. Ouch, I'm a damsel in distress here!
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Amber,
    I suggest that you run the following tools and then try to install SP1.

    First to perform a clean boot on your PC.
    Run the disk error checking.
    Run System File Checker.
    Run the System Update tool.
    So if these tools did not report any errors, then install the SP1.

    Post back with the results.

  • Cannot install Windows in bulk updates

    After a major update (back to top), my computer will only install updates MS 131and I know there are more than 100 more, they have obviously downloaded but have NOT installed. For updates they show has failed, and in the updates installed, they are nowhere to be found. Does this mean "that they have been downloaded, but NOT installed?"  Because I continue to check the updates because I know they are NOT installed and it telling me there is no. To download more than 100 updates one is ridiculous, if it can still be done. After the update it downloaded 1.5 GB of MS updates and the other half has failed. I don't have a choice on my date of restoration, a mouse driver crashed, so the update was important. And the next day he downloaded more than 100. "Should I download these one? If Yes, I switch to Apple.

    Original title: amount of updates

    Hello

    I've seen a number of messages about this problem, so I spent the evening reload an image of two year, perform a new installation of Win 8 who had never had Windows updates...

    For the most part just out of curiosity I guess... and the fact that you mentioned 200 + updates that seemed much too much for me.

    There were 109 updates for my machine. After installation of these groups, I checked once again more updates to Windows, and there is more than 18... A couple less than your total actually. And after checking again once there is no more...

    Your total of 131 is probably correct... I think that you have a gap in your numbers it's because a lot of the first failed and redownloaded again.

    If I go on my updates installed page, it lists 137, even if I downloaded only 127...

    This is because some updates are 'Cumulative' who have more than an update of the package.

    I don't know if I mentioned this in another thread or not, but don't try to do all the updates at the same time... It SHOULD work, but according to the actual updates, they can actually interfere with each other.

    Especially if the .net Framework updates are included. .NET 3.5 in particular. This issue has been much come on the forum, and I'm little tired of repeatedly typing, so I wrote a few notes...

    This is just my opinion, for what it's worth, it's here...

    I just did a test installation 109 updates Windows in groups. All groups have continued the installation process even if they were supposed to be finished, and showed the RESTART...

    You must run the Task Manager to see this.

    I did thirteen .net Framework 3.5.1 updates totaled 206 MB. At least 20 minutes after the RESTART appeared several process continued to run.

    Because I have an application that displays all internet activity, I have seen that Windows Installer would go several times, and when it ran, it would trigger a download of a certain type.

    Two other processes that are running are Windows Module Installer and Windows Module Installer Worker.

    In Win 7, they are called "mscorsvrs" and after you have installed a .net Framework update there are sometimes up to three who take turns running. The best I can describe their function, they're afflicted a compiler.

    Even if the installation is supposed to be completed according to Windows Update, it is not. Not until the end of the process...

    This is the source of many problems with the updates of Windows not... Over the years, I saw countless times in which an update failed after that these processes started to run... To the beautiful environment of the rest updates.

    It's the sequence, I used to install updates 109 @ 1.22 GB on a computer where Windows Update had never been performed...

    Group #1... @ 128 MB's malicious software removal tool and Windows Defender... Then restart

    Group #2... Graphics, internet explore ActiveX

    (Updates of seven first in the list before the .net start) 7 @ 188 MB...  Then restart

    Group #3... .NET framework 3.5.1...  13 @ 105 MB...  It took about 20 minutes for the CPU go to zero before rebooting, as mentioned above...

    Group #4...  .NET framework 4.5...   11 @ 162 MB...   It took about 45 seconds for the CPU to zero before the reboot even if reboot was not required.

    Group #5...  Updates to security...   45 @ 105 MB...     Once again, reboot only after zero CPU

    Group #6...  Important updates...  30 @ 419 MB...     Once again, reboot only after zero CPU

    After installing the first 109, I checked for new updates, and 18 were found @ 579 mb. None were .net Framework... All were successful.

    I actually did this process twice to check it again and with no failure... He managed both times.

    BTW... I have 1.01 GB of updates of Windows to be 'cleaned '... This does mean that they have failed. What is cleaned is the old files that have been replaced and the left on the packages that are no longer needed.

    Kinda like your TEMP folder where a large number of programs store the installation files... After a week, disk cleanup will allow you to remove...

  • Cannot install the trial version of After Effects?

I saw messages such that many times before with other companies (as we all have, I'm sure), and it always turns out be a permanent error.

    Anyone know what is happening? I wanted to buy the program, but if I can't do even the trial of it... it's a bad sign.
