Windows 8.1 will be getting nearly 30 patches later today

Microsoft plans to release over 30 non-security patches for various versions of Windows later today, but Windows 8.1 will be the subject of the vast majority of those downloads.

The company has released summaries of all these optional patches on its support page, and it's clear that most of them are for fixing problems in Windows 8.1, with some for Windows RT 8.1 and a few for Windows 7. Microsoft released a number of security patches for versions of Windows last week as part of "Patch Tuesday".

So far, Microsoft has not released any specific information on what these patches are supposed to fix, but that should be revealed when they start rolling out via Automatic Update later today.

Thanks for the "Warning" Shawn.
I'll make a system image right now then, before it updates later, for just incase there's a hiccup.
I tell other users to always image before something major, and I do follow my own advice;).
 
Got'em and installing

Edit: No problems installing, just took 1-2 minutes to reboot(and I use an SSD)

hi

21 updates all ok except one KB3022345 which says error code 800F0922 first time I`ve had this happen!!!! :(
 
Hi all, having read the op thought would have a look to see if I too had updates ready. Indeed 21 updates, 1 defender and 20 optional, ticked all and installed, one failed! KB3022345 however rather than just re-start I ticked the box again and it installed, one re-boot later and win updates shows it as installed :thumbsup: hope this is of some use to anybody else reading the op before installing....

Regards Nightreaper.
 
Installed four of them (KB3043812, KB3047255, KB3038701 and KB3053946). No issues since... touch wood. ;)

BTW, I haven't installed KB3042216 yet, due to there not being any information about it (page gives an opps). Anyone know what it's about?

Edit: Ignore the question above about KB3042216, because the page now works. After all that, I didn't bother to install it.
