Hello everybody.
I have a problem with installing updates in Windows 8. I installed Windows 8 "on top" of Windows 7 just yesterday, which means that i don't have 2 OS, i just chose the option when i put the installation CD for Windows 8 in my computer, to install Windows 8 but keep my files and personal settings from Windows 7. Now i want to update from Windows 8, to Windows 8.1. But Windows tells me when i try to fetch the 8.1 update from the Windows Store, that i need to update Windows first. Then i go to my PC settings or control panel, i download the updates, they install, then the computer reboots and before the login screen it gives me the following message with a 5 point rotating wheel that goes "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off the computer" (Sorry if the translation is not exactly right, but i am from Denmark and i am trying to translate the message that i get in my Danish languaged system to english)
Then it just stays there on that screen for, well i guess it would stay for eternity, but many hours until you finally decide to kill the thing, boot it up again, press F9 in my case, and then ask it to make a system recovery, and then it's back to square one.
Now i have already tried running Microsoft's own "Mr. Fix it" tool for Windows update. It found some problems, fixed them all, i downloaded and installed again, same result.
Now if there is already a thread for this, please let me know because i will check it out then.
Otherwise thank you in advance, and have a nice day:)
Best regards
Mike
