Surface RT - default configuration Windows updates to returning date change

I just bought a RT of Microsoft Surface 32 GB and I tried to upgrade to 8.1 Overview Windows.  The device off near the end of the installation and when I turned on this return, he cancelled the installation.

After the installation is rolled back, I had to go through the installation process for Windows.  When I am finally back into Windows it had only four tiles on the start screen: IE, store, Explorer of files and office.  Other applications, as well as UNRWA, have been installed is no longer.
I tried to do a system restore, but it says that there is not all the required files and insert the installation media.  Unfortunately, I did not create a restore USB.
Now, whenever I try to install updates from Windows Update it restarts and starts to install, but then comes up with the message "configuration of the Windows restore changes updates failed.
I have redownloaded update for Windows overview 8.1, but even after installing and rebooting I don't get the option Update in the store.
someone at - it ideas?
Thank you
Jason

Hi Jason,

Do you have a code/error message when installing Windows RT 8.1 Overview has been restored?

In order to upgrade to Windows RT 8.1 overview you should have a good peripheral work of RT. Since the rear roll was incomplete after the failure of the installation of Windows RT 8.1 Overview, some of the preinstalled applications are missing from the device. So, I suggest you "reset your Surface. Please refer to the section: "Solution 3: reset your Surface" from this link:

http://www.Microsoft.com/surface/en-us/support/warranty-service-and-recovery/how-do-i-restore-refresh-or-reset-surface

Note: All your personal files will be deleted and your settings will be reset. All the apps that the is come with your PC will be reinstalled, but all other applications will be deleted.

-After the reset of the device, install all the updates that are available from Windows update and make sure that the device is functioning properly.

Please return back with the State of the question after the above given steps, so that we can help you further.

  • My Dell Latitude Tablet is stuck on 'Failure to configure Windows updates from reinstatement of changes' (Windows 8)

    It was stuck on this during about 3 hours and I desperately need to use... It is essentially new from today, as I had mail. I really don't understand why this is happening and I can't find a way to fix.

    From what Ive seen in similar forums, that I'll post things that do not work in my situation.

    • I don't have any sort of keyboard or mouse for this tablet.
    • I tried to restart the flight button and button / stop
    • I took the battery.
    • I do not have a more 8 GB USB so I can't use a recovery.

    Honestly, I'm so frustrated because I both want and need to use it for school... I don't have the time and money to run around to try to find a larger USB... at least not for a few days or a week. If no indication as to what is wrong and all the other options would be very appreciated.

    Hi Alex,

    I understand the inconvenience caused to you due to this problem. Installation of Windows Update takes this long period. It seems to be a problem with the Windows Update components. You could also face this problem at any time update does not install correctly and it is not to let any other updates to settle.

    As you mentioned that this is a new feature by Dell I suggest you contact the manufacturer or point of purchase. You can contact the Dell forums on the information provided below.

    OT: Windows Update failure 8.

    I recently re-installed Windows 8 using an old product key once I updated my PC using Windows 7 due to failure to boot Windows Technical Preview.

I installed them and restarting my PC, he has said configuration Windows Updates... Do not turn off your computer. It is immediately followed by updates default Windows configuration .

  • I'm getting 'Failure Configuring Windows Updates, changes of restoration' by updating windows.

    It was the first time that I am trying to update my laptop of Lenovo G500s which is come with 8 windows pre installed, before installing the updates, I have restored the laptop if you default factory using Lenovo a recovery key. While the updates are being installed I received a message 'Fail configuration Windows updates reverting changes'. It lasted for an hour. When I tried to install updates again the same message appeared. My laptop came pre-installed with Nitro Pdf 8 and Mcafee Internet Security, so I have even uninstalled them, I also ran Mcafee Consumer Product Removal Tool. But the problem with windows update remained. I then ran the convenience store update Windows that sets these two problems:

    fix windows update fixed the database and repair misconfigured update windows components, but this solves nothing. Later I discovered that although the resolution of update problems show that the problems have been solved but convenience store running immediately shows again the same problems.

    So this time I ran again the recovery system, and immediately after the system recovery windows update of convenience store that showed the problems mentioned above two updates of windows.

    Is it so that means the recovery partition itself contains other problems that my problem would have been solved, what do I do to fix this?
