Windows 8 applications do not update?

I installed Windows 8 yesterday (October 27, 2012).

Interesting... Microsoft still does not seem to include seamless integration / implementation and has some problems serious with the abandonment of recognized standards (POP3!) but that's another story.

In the App Store, I had six applications that said that they had updates available. I selected all the and choose install.

Nothing seems to happen... Green dots fly in the upper part of the screen, but nothing seems to be updated.

My system date is correct, time is OK, everything is fine. I updated an application after the first installation of Windows 8, and he updated very quickly.

These applications do not appear to be updated.

Any ideas? The updater is so bogged down X number of people trying to update the same apps at the same time?

I'm on Verizon FIOS and my internet speed is pretty darn good (download speed 77,96 Mbps upload speed 48,52 Mbit/s to Virginia to test the server in Pennsylvania) so I don't think that is the question.

Here's how I solved my problem.

The goal is to remove or rename the "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" file located in c:/Windows. Usually, it seems that windows will not let you change the folder because other services are constantly using it. So I booted in safe mode.
(1) search apps for 'run '.
(2) enter "msconfig" in the box run and click on enter
3) go to the tab startup and check the option "Safe Boot". Click ok and then click on the option "Exit and restart" after that.
(4) once you have started using safe, go to C:/windows of your applications to search for 'Computer' and navigate well the c: / drive.
(5) you should see a folder called "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution". Rename it to 'SoftwareDistributionOld' to be on the safe side in the case where you still need.
(6) repeat steps 1-3 to return to the secure boot option. This time, uncheck and then quit and restart.
When you start to save, open the app Store of Windows and click on the update notification. I hope that you will be able to attend your applications up-to-date perfectly!

  • Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

    Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

    It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

    To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

    So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

    You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

    ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

    ... Thank you!

    I'm NOT an expert on these things, but so are ' twisted my arm, I'd suggest the possibility of you as I did to RW:

    «If you still have your Windows OS CD maybe you could try to remove & then reinstalling Windows Media Center entirely?...» I don't know there's a way to do it, but you do not want explicit instructions of any part/whatever ' one who knows what they have everything.  Also, if it is possible to do a total removal/uninstall & reinstall, - vs - a sort of "repair", I'd do the full thing, that simple "repair" can let WMC Guide EPG old and outdated files that could bring you a right of return to the same sorry state of affairs! »

    • Make sure you have enough disk space.
    • Although the recommended minimum requirements are 16 GB (32-bit), 20 GB (64-bit), if you upgrade from a previous version of Windows or a previous version, you will need to have at least 40-50 GB of free space to accommodate the installation files.
    • First run Disk Clean up.
    • Archive files rarely used to an external hard drive.
    • Consider data synchronization to OneDrive or similar online service and do a custom installation.
    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (e.g., USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripheral non-essential).

  • Windows Media Player does not update album art and album info.

    I have a desktop HP Envy h8 - 1417c 64 bit PC and I've recently updated to 8.1 of Windows (from Windows 8 - entered loaded on the PC). After the update, Windows Media Player still works fine, but it doesn't accept new information when I try to extract one of my new CDs to the library of music and album art. It search in the internet and search the correct art and information, but when you click on accept, nothing happens. CD selections simply remain blank. I can still see the info from old files and art (before the update), so I know he kept what was already ripped. I also have a vague called music editing software yet (which works with Windows 8), and he finds no more album. Also, I loaded iTunes and have no problem to find illustrations of album and info with this program. Is there something that I am missing? I can't find anyone having this same problem on the internet. Thank you.
