    Check or share *.log files in %temp% and C:\Windows\Temp
    it could reveal the reason

    I am running the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1.

    After installing that update, I was offered the latest security patches. Thanks.

    I just thought of something after using the windows embedded industry route.

    Since it hits EOL in July for embedded industry will you be able to use the server updates or do you have to delete all embedded updates or even perform a clean install?

    So you can switch to using server updates? Or is that question up in the air until embedded industry hits EOL.

    Only Windows 8.1 x64 OS versions can make use of the server updates (specifically, Windows Server 2012 R2). Extended support before ESU (Extended Security Updates) support ends October 10, 2023. ESU Year 1 support begins October 11, 2023; Year 2 support begins October 9, 2024; Year 3 support begins October 15, 2025 and ends October 13, 2026.

    Embedded 8.1 Industry has now set officially, that July 11 2023, is the last day of Extended support for Windows 8.1 Embedded versions. Any prior extended support notices for Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry beyond October 2023 have been redacted, so at present time it sounds like not so good news for Windows 8.1 x86 version users.

    But still, we'll see....

    Why to delete embedded updates? they are 100% the same as Server updates (and previous Windows 8.1 updates)

    i don't think they will bother to remove Client/Embedded applicability from Server updates after July
    it will still possible to install updates manually (ESU suppressor will continue to work)

    Take a look here at this forum response #7311 reasons 1 & 2:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...dates-eligibility.80606/page-366#post-1784697

    And since you're using a Windows 8.1 OS, try using DISM to repair errors with some installed components using the commands as follows: (Open a Command Prompt window with "Run As Administrator" privileges, and you NEED TO BE ONLINE for this process)

    dism /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    ** This process may take 60-90 minutes at most **

    This seems to happen every few months with the Windows OS code aligned with touchscreen apps getting system components constantly updated (Windows 8, 8.1, 10).

    thanks man ~~

    actually I've read your post before but just try another way to fix it without /RestoreHealth

    I would build a clean system and check it again ~~~

    Those all runs well

    What embedded compact has to do with W8.x?

    Embedded compact is Windows CE (an entirely different OS)

    Hi
    I'd like to create fresh, updated image of win 8.1.

    Is it still possible to integrate clean image of w8.1 with hotfixes/sec. updates in Wintoolkit as it was possible before January 2023 or it is much much harder now because of bypassBlue ?

    February 2023 and later updates will fail for offline integration (even for Server 2012 R2 image)

    ESU Suppressor is required (Wim-Integration.cmd)
    then you can add updates with Wintoolkit

    Not sure if ESU Suppressor breaks the sysptrep process, but if not, booting in audit mode, installing the updates, systprep/generalize, then capturing the image should do the job.
