    Can you please point me to such posts?? AFAIK, untouched ISOs are always welcomed.

    Btw, sorry for off-topic in this thread.

    After installing this on my tablet (ASUS VivoTab Smart), I'm experiencing the following problem: the device doesn't wake up from sleep (connected standby) correctly. Normally, the lockscreen would appear immediately.
    But now, with the updates installed, the screen turns on but stays black for a couple of seconds. Then the icons (battery, calendar, ...) appear while the screen is still black. And then, finally, the lockscreen wallpaper shows up. Also, after unlocking my device, the start screen background is all grey instead of showing my wallpaper. The tiles are working fine, though.

    I'm slightly disappointed now as I thought these updates would actually fix bugs instead of introducing new ones. I should also note that all of my drivers are up to date. After removing the updates, everything works as expected again.

    Any ideas?

    Same issue with my Lenovo Lynx. It appears that the display driver is crashing upon resume. I just uninstalled the update and will wait until there is a driver update from intel.

    So does this mean MS will release a new 8.1 image ?

    That only Means that MS will Release an ISO of Win 8.1 RTM and not an Iso with GA Updates integrated.

    I injected the "Rollup A" updates into my 8.1 Enterprise RTM image with DISM /Add-Package. So this is my little personal "updated RTM" image. This is the first time I used the /Add-Package method, before (w7/ w8) I did a full reinstall on a test PC every once in a while (with a autounattend file that made setup go straight into Audit mode). Then, I let it get all the updates, then generalize and shutdown, with a Capture-Image afterward. That way, I also had an uptodate image.

    A few questions, if I may:
    (1) With the new 8.1 image, does it make sense to keep the "Rollup-A-Updated" image as my new starting point, or could I just as well keep the original .wim? I know the best way is to start with an original image, but I don't know exactly why that is. There's some kind of rearm counter, that prevents us from using an updated image and adding to it repeatedly, but could somebody please explain how this works (and how many update runs are "allowed"?)

    (2) From the "Get-Packages" command I see that the 8.1 RollupA updates have the status of "Install Pending". Does that add time to the setup procedure? If so, isn't it better to use Audit mode for installing the RollupA updates as well?

    Thanks for listening, I'm always very interested in this stuff, but unfortunately sometimes my brain (and spare time) find it difficult to keep up...
