Hi there,

I bought a 2nd hand (mint) Surface Pro 1 in on May 15th. The guy didn't use it much because he got an iPad instead, so I got a good deal on it. Anyways, after formatting a few times and getting the hand of this new OS, I updated it to Windows 8.1 on Saturday May 17th. Since then , I didn't get too many Windows updates minus the ones from softwares and drivers. Here's a pictures of everything that's been installed since then (minus Bing and Silverlight updates that I hid and asked not to be bothered again).

I know there must be more Windows updates than this, so any ideas what's going on? It's not June 30th, I should be able to get them.


Thanks

I was not aware that MS has a special day for updates, but OK. As for checking manually for updates, no, there's nothing available for download. Do you have any security updates in your Windows 8.1 that I do not have in the picture I've included?

Thank you

Nope. I think you're covered for now.

Are you sure? If I do have Windows 8.1 Update 1, then why don't I see these components in my Windows Update History?

KB2919355 is the update to Win 8.1 update 1. If you updated to 8.1 update 1 it would show up in Installed Updates. If not, you haven't updated and you could download it from the Windows Store.

Ah, there you go, I have a couple of them installed in there:

KB2932046 no
KB2919355 yes
KB2934018 no
KB2937592 no
KB2938439 no
KB2959977 yes
clearcompressionflag no

As for the others, I tried running them individually (I downloaded the KB files) but Windows says I already have them. I find it strange that I don't see them on either lists.
