Dell XPS desktop that came with 8.0 installed.
Go to MS Store, click on update to 8.1. Tells me I must first complete Windows updates.
Go there & find 1 'important' update ( update kb2802618 & 1 optional). The Important one is a Win 8 64 bit based os update. Mentions that it's scheduled to do it automatically at set time. I do it (only the important one not Silverlight) manually & click install. I get the ok that it's installed. Go back to d/l 8.1 & get same message re: need to update SAME UPDATE. . Do it multiple times.
Tried rebooting, shutting off auto update. same results..
What is the problem? I'd like to d/l 8.1..

Any ideas?

In the elevated command prompt run sfc /scannow until not corrupt files fixed or found.

Put auto update back on.

Reboot the computer and click Check for Updates in the control panel.

Now try the 8.1 update.

Sometimes the updates are applied at specific times like at 3am in the morning. Even though you are telling it to install the update it still won't install until whatever time is specified.

You will have to go into the settings and turn off that feature. I think you can choose to install immediately or manually install.
