DISCUSSION: Windows 8.1 Spring 2014 Update RTM

It installed fine...but after restart when it is supposed to configure devices and do the "Welcome to Windows" screen then it starts flickering during Windows load..and then black with mouse pointer.
It was on a real machine.

I added KB2959977 and KB2934018 into the image. and not afterwards.

 

So, run a test without integrating KB2934018, see if it works

Edit:
to be extra sure, i tried to replicate your test, i added english us lang pack to arabic iso, then choose english to install

and yes, the setup seemed to took a little longer than usual at "Getting Ready" screen, then the black screen with only a mouse pointer came up
but, after no more than 20~25 seconds, the setup rebooted and resumed as usual to the finnish
did you try to wait a little bit to see if setup continues or not?

maybe it's something related to en-us lang pack only? since it's the base "fallback" lang for all languages, maybe the delay was due files confliction with the already present en-us resources

i took a look at the setup logs (C:\Windows\Panther), but there wasn't any error logged/registered

 

I did give it some time. Many of the times I waited 10-30 minutes..
If I get time I may try without 4018....but since it works with LIP added there's really no point.
I mean...if we were to have these releases for a long time..then yes, maybe...but maybe there will be an 8.1 update 2 or even 8.2 this fall with new refresh ISO:s.
Then we'll jsut start with those as base ISO:s anyway....so no point in spending way too much time on this.

 

Hi Guy's. I'm going to install windows 8.1 with update today. Can someone be so kind as to tell me what other updates need to be added once installed. The KB updates.......hope someone get's what I mean.

Cheers

 

Simply use Windows Update .

 

In fact this is logical

 

Or you can try this one, it is faster:

Code:

microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42327

.

 

WU has a lot less user interaction. always a good thing lol

I ran ClearCompressionFlag.exe, and then I was able to install kb2919355. Before this, i could not install it, no matter what fix or work around I tried. Thank you!

These Knowledge Base articles must be installed in the following order: clearcompressionflag.exe, KB2919355, KB2932046, KB2959977, KB2937592, KB2938439 and KB2934018.
3.KB2919442 is a prerequisite for Windows 8.1 update and must be installed before attempting to install KB2919355

It's a Rollup, any issues it have will be fixed in next month rollup

i think rollups become important updates after two months (maybe four)
