Yeah many people have that issue. I am one of them, I had installed all the updates in the correct order on a clean Windows 8.1 installation. Freeze everytime for like 10 to 30 seconds. And my icons all appear white (there is no icon basically)

I am not bothered about this buggy update anymore

 

A. Thanks

 

Link Update from Windows Update working again..

LOL

Check the post above you

 

So maybe we get an updated ISO on MSDN in 2 weeks

 

If you are not using the default Windows Defender as an a/v program, there's your reason.

 

So that's why all this problem occurs??

 

Not always, but might be one main reason. As always after an Upgrade like this some Ring 0 software, i.e. AVs, drivers etc, might need an update.

Using AVG IS 2014 here with absolutely no problems.

 

I'm not entirely sure it's related to the Spring update.
There was recently a defender methodology update on Windows Update.
When I had defender disabled, my system was behaving exactly as described... Long pauses while waiting for icons to process.
It could be related. I'm not 100%

I would personally recommend either using Windows Defender for the time being, or wait until after the Spring 2014 update is released and your internet security dev has time to catch up to the compatibility issues of the update.

 

Could someone suggest/direct me about the right installation order?
Many thanks!

 

Update order : Windows8.1-KB2919442-x64.msu windows8.1-kb2939087-x64.msu windows8.1-kb2932046-x64.msu Restart Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64.msu Restart Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64.msu Windows8.1-kb2938439-x64.msu Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64.msu Restart Done!

 

KB2919442, then the rest... reboot when requested.

 

Maybe this happen because the two additional update files. I don't sure about that. but this what I think.

 

Still interesting that some seek the responsibility only on MS side, not on the side of Software/Driver Vendors .

you know, I was thinking about this as well, and was wondering if these 2 additional files brought forth some unintended consequences

for someone with the freezing problem, it would be nice if you could just install using the 4 files and see if that fixes it!

 

So let me get this right, out of the 6 files, the only 2 that does NOT necessarily need to be installed (and that might be causing some problems on peoples PC's) are KB2938439 and KB2937592?
