Microsoft re-releases August Update (Update 2) Windows 8.1

Microsoft has re-released its second major update for Windows 8.1, also known as the August Update (Update 2 for those keeping track). The update originally launched on August 12, but was pulled a few days later due to a few bugs which rendered 0.01% of users unable to use their PC's properly. Either way, the update is back in Windows Update with all bugs squashed, so get updating!

I have checked in Installed updates and the KB2975719 is already present - installed on 12.08. Did I have to uninstall it before applying the new KB2975719?

Thanks, werty

Hi, you can delete the contents of the C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder and run the http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/26512-dism-fixing-component-store-corruption-windows-8-a.html and you can also use Disk cleanup to delete old Windows update files.

Good luck, werty

Many thanks, I am running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth now (even when CheckHealt says everything is OK) , I will comment when finishes. I hope I don't need to wipe and reinstall Windows!

You have to restart Windows and then try to apply the update!

Update: If this doesn't work and you have Secure Boot enabled in Bios you can try to disable it and then try to install the update.

I was told it maybe has to do with the recovery partition, yes, I don't have it, neither the netbook or the desktop but the netbook was fine.

I have problems running DISM Restore Health - it can't find the source files - but I have never tried deleting the contents of C:/Windows/SoftwareDistribution folder first - does that make a difference? FWIW, my SFC indicates "no integrity violations" each time I run it. DISM Scan Health indicates files are repairable.

Sorry to hear that. As a last resort you can reinstall Windows and make sure that the Recovery partition is created http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2299-clean-install-windows-8-a.html. I also have a laptop with Windows 8 which cannot be upgraded to Windows 8.1 - all drivers are up to date (at least compatible with Windows 8.1 according to Microsoft) but it does not have Recovery partition installed so that may be the problem. I wouldn't even bother to try to install it - Windows 8 is enough stable and Windows 9 is coming out!

Good luck in the future, werty

I need some help in clarifying a couple of procedures, please. I first tried doing it myself, but still somewhat confused ---- nothing new for me LOL.

KB2982791 - I uninstalled this and replaced it with KB2993651 on 8/28. Do I need to uninstall 2993651 and reinstall. The lengthy article by MS has confused me re this update.

KB2975719 - Uninstall and then apply the new update, correct?

KB-2970228 and 2975331 weren't installed in the first rollout. I'm not sure how to proceed here.

KB2919355 - I have no idea what this is. It's listed under "more information" in the MS article....but this KB isn't listed on my Microsoft updates in HP.

Thanks.

Um, maybe because they pulled the original after it caused some serious issues for some people and this is a re-release?

And MS themselves recommended removing the original.

MS' record hasn't been good the past 18 months.

W7 has had several dodgy updates in that time (there's one at the moment).

W8 has had big problems with major updates (just check out the posts about W8 to W8.1 issues).

Interestingly I can't recall seeing complaints about XP updates during this period.
