Honestly, I feel like you have asked this question 1,000 times. The update on April 8th is the Spring Update. The same spring update that has been floating around for a few weeks now (only difference being one small MSU file). If you installed the leaked updates from WZor a few weeks back, then you are running the same thing that the general public will receive on April 8th. The new ISOs that are being made available through MSDN are the original Windows 8.1 images from Microsoft that include Update 1.
hi ok lets beginn.Donwloaded ISO integraded LP (Greek in my case) upgraded to MCE and activated.all went fine but when i install some of my Windows Store apps desktop freeze after restart for about 10-15 sec.now Reinstalled Windows UP1 as before without Store Apps and System dont freeze at all.seems something is wrong with some Apps.anyone facing same problem? Regards
Noob question here I installed the update when it was leaked , today I installed the kb2949621 on executing reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion" | findstr BuildLabEx in cmd prompt it shows 9600.17031.amd64fre.winblue_gdr.140221-1952 Did I update correctly? Thanks
i've updated win 8.1 (x64) enterprise, with the latest iso en_windows_8.1_enterprise_with_update_x64_dvd_4065178 Now BuildLabEx shows me 9600.17031.amd64fre.winblue_gdr.140221-1952 . after update naturally i've lost language, strange i've lost activation of window and office 2013. Now i've re-added language pack, updated os, and reactivated window and office 2013 both with CODYQX4's tool sweetly
You did an upgrade via ISO instead of using the update package? That would afaik explain Enterprise being deactivated .
I have a doubt,the update 1 leaked by wzor is the same update 1 avaliable from of the msdnaa? or not? THANKS.
For your info: This is quoted from the Windows Springboard Series Blog, Posted on: Apr 02, 2014 by Ben Hunter "[h=4]· Updating from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1[/h]If you are currently updating computers from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 by leveraging the automated upgrade process (“setup.exe /auto:upgrade”) available in volume license versions of Windows 8.1 (Pro and Enterprise), you can swap out the current Windows 8.1 installation files that you are using (which includes the INSTALL.WIM, SETUP.EXE, and all other related setup files from the Windows 8.1 media) and replace it with the new files from the updated Windows 8.1 ISO available from the Volume License Service Center on April 14th. That saves you the trouble of installing the new updates separately."
I had been running 8.1 Pro with the leaked update installed. Had not received any windows updates since installing it. Decided to upgrade to the recent MSDN updated iso. Would not take my retail key - had to use the generic install key. No issues encountered. Activation was lost. Replaced activation using the toolkit - no problem. None of that was a surprise (except maybe not taking the retail key to install). What did surprise me was having 6 important updates when I checked Windows Update afterward. Don't know if that is in any way meaningful, just thought I would share my experience.
Can you post the KB numbers of those updates? I integrated the MSDN MSU's to my spanish ISO and there were no updates, except two for .NET 3.5 which I always enable via DISM.
Security Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2938527) Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB2898868) Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2928680) Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2894853) Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 for x64-based Systems (KB2901125) Update for Microsoft Camera Codec Pack for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2899189) Those are the ones available after the installation completed.
