    Personally i think that upgrading from pro to wmc offline seems to cause update issues

    Did you check what's included?
    I doubt there might be some video card drivers

    No video card drivers at all
    There are two "semi-SP" updates, one is 169MB large and 2nd (new) is 140MB large.
    There will be of course sweet surprise with "updated" uxtheme again (to b16433 this time)...

    I got my 8 Updates today, total of 149 Mega bytes. O_O I can't believe that I downloaded that much on dial up in under two hours :|
    And I didn't have any problems with them, I guess I'm lucky :p

    I had 375 MB of updates, 15 In total. 7 Office 2010 and 8 Windows 8. Downloaded in about 10 ~ 15 mins and installed in about 15. Went as smooth as they did on Windows 7 :biggrin:

    We had that when I was a kid, before that we had to carry all the bytes and bits in wooden buckets, five miles in the snow. Uphill both ways.

    The only update that has been causing problems is the Malicious Software Remover Tool, all of my updates failed if I selected it for install.

    It's the way people connected to the internet on Windows 95 >.<
    Actually I believe carrying the bytes and bits would be faster then my connection LOL.

    Really though I guess many people don't know what it since all you young people have that fancy highspeed broad Band and wifi.

    It's either kb2769034, kb2770917 that's causing me conflicts, judging by their description they aren't security related so I'll just skip them both for now or try them again later.

    edit: Obviously knew what dial up was, just didn't know people still used it :p

    well, if you are sitting in the riding car with nbook on your knees with plugged UMTS or CDMA wireless connection (subscribed via GSM provider), you will have to use dial-up too...

    @Alphawaves:
    roughly 2 week old HP G7 with Win8 Core x64 does it, as well as an installation of Win8 Pro WMC. In both cases I will reboot after it starts installation of updates and I just leave the room, it takes a good 20 minutes usually or more to finish. But it does finish sometimes.

    The only way Ive found to speed up and stop the updates from stalling is to open task manager and keep end tasking extra MS install and install 32 instances, leaving one of each running. Ive had to do this to install Office 2010 and Office 2013 as well.
