I also updated from a clean install and facing with several restarts and sometimes it was stuck and need to restore to a recovered point.
a 4th case with the same scenario! and people blame me for creating a thread! this forum is full of hostile and not friendly members! (mostly the seniors unfortunately)
Go to Run > Type msinfo32. do not click on any sub categories. On right side, refer the field called, Hardware Abstraction Layer.
Then why the heck it shows 16452 as build string instead of correctly showing 17031 ....? Not sure about that number, after previous Rollups my system showed afair 16497. What does it show for the others having freeze problems?
This is mine from my freshly installed Pro Sysprep Machine. Clean Win 8.1 Pro RTM ISO and afterwards installed the 6 Updates: Code: 1 KB2919442 Preparation Update 2 KB2939087 Preparation Update //Restart 3 KB2919355 Update 1 //Restart 4 KB2932046 Supplement File //Restart 5 KB2938439 //Restart 6 KB2937592 //Restart Done, and shows:
Frankly this sequencing of updates is not good at all. When the updates hit the servers, one has to rely on windows update to do the right thing and install in correct order. If one keeps them on a local disk, a guide is required. Let us hope that it becomes clearer soon. I did install in the order specified with no problems.
Hi slave, where did you get those 6 updates?is it okay to ask the direct download link? Thank you in advance.
I installed the leaked update in the intended order. No errors, install was quick and painless and I always restarted when asked to. Still, I have the annoying "freezing taskbar" bug. It is rather unpredictable, but every once in a while the taskbar freezes. Pinned apps still work, but the start icon is unclickable, and the charms bar as well as the recent apps bar stop working. I can still access the start menu using the Windows Key. Restarting fixes it for a while.
Not necessarily. If you've ever re-installed win8.0 you'll notice that it doesn't give you the rollup kb files until you install certain smaller updates and apply them by rebooting. The same can be true of 8.1's spring 2014 update.
