    After seeing the updates in WU, open windowsupdate.log with notepad, open Find, search for "when file has not been previously added to the datastore", F3 until the section timestamped recently (when you added the key). Copypast the whole section with the new updates added to the list of updates that is being offered.

    Just confirmed on a VM, adding the same key to the registry in Server 2012 R2 displays the Update 1 files.

    Question - is this reg entry for a clean windows 8.1 build or for the latest leaked build?

    Thanks in advance

    I have applied to a clean install of 8.1 - no leaks installed (all windows updates installed). The update files were revealed after adding reg key and restarting windows update service.

    there is no progress bar from 1 to 100% by design
    It sticks at 4%, proceeds to 54% and then completes ... done

    talking about x86 system, did not play with x64 but will try soon

    edit: same thing with x64 and works perfectly

    And in which sequence do we install these msu files?
    Restart after installing each one?

    Interesting. First the KB2919355 showed 760mb on Windows Update and now it's 708mb.

    :worthy:Thank you, we've got the x64 links, can anybody running x86 or ARM do this too? That way we'll get DL links for those too!

    If this was not RTM final version, it would not be available on Windows Update right?
