Hi!

I have tried updating my Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit, upgraded from Windows 8 Pro) with the new "Update 1" (KB2919355) but it always fails with ERROR code 8007005 (or 80073712).

What I have tried do to fix:



  • Run WindowsUpdateDiagnostic (that e.g. removes files from C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download and cleans Windows update history metadata info)
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
  • DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • DISM.EXE /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

After all of this, still the update (KB2919355) fails :(



There must be something that Microsoft needs to fix, there are xxxxxxxxxxxx amount of similar complains and reports out there...

Hmmm... did that happen to you with this Update 1 too (= you hit hard a few times)?

Have tried a few times already...

Not with the 5 or 6 small updates before the big 8.1 update {800 or so MBs}, but with the 2 new updates {KB2933809 & KB2957390}

I had to try 4 times before the 2 new updates downloaded & installed. :(

I've tried 6 times now - and had MS Tech Support try to help me - before finally restoring back to Macrium Reflect image prior to Windows Update Tuesday. Just sitting back and waiting for MS to fix the problem now - checking the forums and blogs regularly. Hopefully MS will wake up soon.

It's only been a few days. It's not like MS has had months to work out the kinks.

The last big package (KB2919355) manual installation progresses with the Progress Bar to "100%" completion, at least seems so, and then informs "Installation failed."...

So no solution exists.

I signed up here after finding this thread when Googling for a solution to my problem. I'm also getting the errors when trying to install KB2919355, both manually and through Windows Update. Never really been an expert on updates, so do we just have to wait for Microsoft to fix this?

Here are a couple of threads at Microsoft - both long, but is shows you are not alone

KB2919355 (Windows 8.1 Update) Fails (800f0092 and - Microsoft Community

Windows 8.1 Update 1 Failing to Install with errors 80070020, 80073712 - Microsoft Community

Note particularly at the bottom of Page 19 of the first one, "I also managed to install the update in 2 offline VMs (one 32 Bit and the other 64 Bit) and one offline system which had only installation with the Windows 8.1 .iso and the generic product key. These had the following installed:
64 Bit
32 Bit
There were no issues.

And my reply just below that: "THANK YOU! Just as you posted this, the MS Tech Rep also sent it to me via email. I tried it once and it didn't work. Then, in the back of my mind, i remembered somewhere I had read that enabling all Services under msconfig helps also. So, I took your information enabled all Services in msconfig - and Wallah it worked! Thank so much for your help. I really appreciate it. I had just about given up - succeeded on my 7th try.

Good luck - I was so frustrated I almost gave up....but on the 7th try it worked.

I had the failure message with unhelpful Error Code 80072EE2.
I don't know if the upgrade actually did fail, as there was a new green/white Metro Store icon on the taskbar.
The changes are so minimal it is hard to tell.

All the other upgrades succeeded.

I ran the WindowsUpdate diagnostic which did not help but all my update history is now gone.

I uninstalled update KB 2919355.

I downloaded a standalone version of KB 2919355.

I read that some had achieved success with services running. I have had a printer spooler service, since the 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade, that can only be started manually. I started this manually and ran the standalone upgrade. Quite slow but it completed, then configured itself during the reboot.

Anyrate, the upgrade has now worked.

The EU should take a class action out against Microsoft for the countless wasted hours its citizens face with upgrades they do not want and that do not work properly.

I've had the same issue, but I recently found both the cause of this problem and it's solution to be the Windows Media Center. Do you also have the Windows Media Center installed on your system with windows 8.1? If so, there seems to be some sort of conflict the that particular update and the Windows Media Center being present during the installation of the update.

The solution, as of right now, is to re-install your previous Windows OS and migrate back to Windows 8.1 without reinstalling the Windows Media Center. Microsoft is aware of issue and are working towards developing a patch to fix the problem, but how long that may actually take is anyone's guess.

This Windows 8.1 update 1 is mandatory. Anyone currently running Windows 8.1 who does not accept the update will not have access to future Microsoft Update Service updates after May 2014.

May I ask. Do you have the Windows Media Center currently installed on you Windows 8.1 system?

I mailed (as proposed in MSFT forum) to Microsoft for them to raise an official ticket. I am sure they will evantually fix this. I am tired trying "hacks" and using my time for "trial and error"...

Hi MKeezy,

I would love to view your sources on this, as I did have Windows 8.1 Pro/Media Center, prior to successfully installing KB2919355....however even with this 'successful installation'...I am having issues. Please see this post/thread:

http://www.eightforums.com/windows-...355-breaks-down-logon-screen-lock-screen.html Post #7 Post #8

At least in my case 'it is more of a cosmetic, very annoying issue, but it can be rectified by simply pressing the Windows Logo key, at which point, the Metro apps having the issue (thus far-Metro Mail, Metro IE11) will properly return to the Metro Start screen..)
I would love to post your 'Media Center causing conflicts with Windows 8.1 Update' info on my threads posted up @Microsoft 8.1 forums and MS TechNet Windows 8.1 forums...

Thanks kindly

I decided to give "dism" tool one more chanse yesterday evening and it worked, so I'd guess MSFT has done some changes somewhere... Just read this postings and there are several "success" posts with all the same instructions (which I did too, again, and succeeded).

Solved, but MSFT has to figure out the root cause still!

Still no luck on my end--using the DISM cleanup command just gives me error 14098. Installing by Windows Update and by standalone still gives me an error. Also, trying to remove the update just tells me it doesn't exist.

Try using command prompt to uninstall each one of the update packages that also installs with the KB291935 update. Open you system Command Prompt evoking administrative privilege. The command should look something like the following inside of the brackets: [wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2919355]

Repeat the process for any of the other four or five updates that are associated with the kb9219355 update package.

I'm having problems with this update, as well. After installing it, the whole windows 8 interface (start button, start screen, metro side bar, etc.) stopped working and I can only operate with the desktop.

I restored my computer to a point before this whole thing happened, but I still can't use the windows 8 interface. And I know KB 2919355 isn't installed, because windows update is asking me to install it right now.

Did they figure out a solution for this yet?

I'm also experiencing problems with kb2919355 and it's an *epic failure*.

:/

Microsoft sure knows how to disappoint their fanbase.
