📎 AI Summary:
The forum thread discusses difficulties updating Windows 8 to install Windows 8.1, where the update fails and reverts changes, with previous troubleshooting steps like troubleshooting updates, clean boot, and sfc/scannow ineffective. The second contributor suggests trying to install updates incrementally to identify and bypass problematic updates. The overall tone indicates ongoing frustration but offers a potential solution to isolate update issues.

I am trying to update newly installed Win. 8 so I can install Win 8.1. Up[grade will not

take, upon rebooting it has a failure to update and reverting changes(takes forever). I

have had this problem before and usually doing a "troubleshoot updates" and a clean boot

worked, even did a sfc/scannow. Nothing seems to work.Thanks in advance for any ideas.

If a lot of updates you might try just doing a few at a time. There may just be one troublesome one that is killing all the updates.
