So I just built my new system and I installed Windows 8.1 (first ever to have) and now I need to install the updates. However I read around the Internet about a fiasco about updates which I am not seeing. The update was KB2919355 and from what I read you had to install this update along with others in a certain order to avoid problems.

But I could not find anything if this was pertaining to upgrading or full install. In my situation I have a full install. According to some threads I read once you install KB2919442 then KB2919355 should show up.

Q1 - does this still pertain?
Q2 - I do not see KB2919442 so if this still pertains then I guess I got manually install this?
Q3 - or is my version of Windows 8.1 beyond that situation and I should just update what I see?
Q4 - are there any other updates that I should be wary of? I know of the upgrade path to Windows 10 and I know which updates those are. I do not plan on upgrading to Windows 10; this machine will stay on 8.1. But if there are others please let me know.

The system has Windows 8.1 Professional, 64-bit and I did activate Secure Boot in the UEFI

Thanks

Thank you David. I knew of KB3068708, but KB3022345 I did not know about.

Any one else on the KB2919355 update?

I had no problems with update KB2919355, but I installed it with a group of other updates.

Thanks axe0. Maybe I have a newer installation disc which rolled all that up because I am not seeing KB2919355 nor the KB2919442 offered. I just read in threads that it was an issue when installing these; mainly the order in which to install them. This is what I read, the order to install

Install in order from top to bottom
KB2919442
KB2919355
KB2932046
KB2959977
KB2937592
KB2938439
KB2934018

Then install all other updates that are offered. But again maybe what I got is an installation disc that has taken care of this.

Going to take the plunge and update.

Thanks everyone for the help with a new Windows 8.1 user:)
