Windows 8.1 Hotfix Repository

I need some help regarding updating Windows 8.1 RTM to its latest version..

First try to update from RTM to Update 3 using these Updates:
Windows8.1-KB2938772-x64.cab
Windows8.1-KB2938439-x64
Windows8.1-KB2937592-x64
Windows8.1-KB2932046-x64
Windows8.1-KB2919355-x64
Windows8.1-KB3021910-x64
Windows8.1-KB3014442-x64
Windows8.1-KB3003057-x64
Windows8.1-KB3000850-x64
Windows8.1-KB2934018-x64

These were integrated with WHD-81 (also apply ResetBase) and the updates were downloaded with WHDownloader.

generating an ISO with the name:
9600.17415.141028-1500.WINBLUE_R4_CLIENT_X64FRE_ES-ES.iso

but when I load it in NTLite it keeps mentioning that it is build 9600.16384 (basically RTM) after going to updates it shows that the updates are "integrated (pending installation)"

my question is, shouldn't the build have been changed? What am I doing wrong?

Spoiler: WHD-81.ini

Code:

[W81UI-Configuration]
Target        =C:\WHD-81\DVD
Repo          =Updates
DismRoot      =dism.exe

Net35         =1
Cleanup       =1
ResetBase     =1

Cab_Dir       =W81UItemp
MountDir      =W81UImount
WinreMount    =W81UImountre

WinRE         =0
wim2esd       =0
ISO           =1
ISODir        =
Delete_Source =0

AutoStart     =0

OnlineLimit   =75
LDRbranch     =YES
Hotfix        =YES
WUSatisfy     =YES
Windows10     =NO
WMF           =NO
RSAT          =NO

 

@abbodi1406 sorry to bother you, can you help me with this?

 

Updates are not service packs, they don't change base version 9600.16384

however, the revision version can vary depending on how NTLite detect it
dism.exe has version
dismhost.exe has version
ntoskrnl.exe has version

6.3.9600.17031 is the CBS version for KB2919355

you need to boot the image in Audit mode to install the updates
then sysprep, shutdown, capture new install.wim

 

The system created in this way makes no sense at all.

 

So I integrate the updates that I showed, do sysprep and that's it?

Well, I'll try this.

Resetbase for my August update removed KB3121261 and KB3145384. 3145384 is superseded, but I'm not sure about 312126 and whether it needs to be put back in.

 

KB3121261 still holds the latest spaceport driver

 

I scanned the system and spaceport.sys (6.3.9600.20518) still exists in the Drivers, DiriverStore and WinSxS directories. Seems to have to do with storage spaces which i've never used. System still boots ok. KB no longer appears in the dism packages.txt, but the driver is active after booting.
So I guess I don't need to re-add KB3121261.

 

I stand correct
spaceport was added since 2022-08 Monthly Rollup

KB3121261 is now superseded (for Client) because 2024-08 Monthly Rollup now include kernel32.dll.mui

unfortunately, KB3121261 is still not supeseded for Server
so i will just keep

 

Interesting, I was always wondering when they would finally add those kernel32.dll.mui files to the monthly Rollup

 

They updated description for the dissolved Netherlands Antilles, and Turkey
and Croatia currency i think
