    If the ADK is final and is build 17029, interesting build 17031 of update 1 is available via the direct Windowsupdate links in the 'Update 1' thread.

    that's not as bad as you think.
    With rtm_gm nearly all old updates are superseded.
    So the database is totally out of date now.

    I managed to get all 6 packages from the mediafire link posted in the update 1 thread after the Pg 91 post. I just went ahead and installed them all in the order specified in that thread (cabs only through DISM). The windows build is now 17031; Windows 8.1 Pro x64. It already had Komm's March 2 KUC updates installed. The whole update went smooth as silk and so far gaming etc. I have not experienced any concerns at all-ran cleanmgr with the reset base switch after update and still have 61 updates installed.
    Really have not had enough time to gauge real world performance: ie: "my computer seems snappier, faster, more responsive" etc. One thing for sure though is it is no less than before update 1. Also, I have no, and prevent all, M$ appsx/appsz from installing through DISM in my image and live in Group Policy. Also, I have Windows Store and UAC disabled in Group Policy so I cannot vouche for any changes in those areas.

    Just as a side note, there are many posts on what the prerequisutes are to slipstream Update 1, but, I wonder exactly what is required in the image for this RTM build....?

    I think I am going to go ahead and slipstream just the update 1 17031 package-nothing else, and install on a VHD, go to M$ update and see what it has to say. :biggrin:

    You cannot install kb2919355 without kb2919442
    kb2919355 requires ServicingStack 6.3.9600.17021 as installerAssembly (and this is the first update i have seen ever that explicitly states specific ServicingStack version, all others since Win7 leave it general at 6.0.0.0)

    I slipstreamed all but kb2919355 first, saved the image, then, integrated kb2919355, saved the image. I am typing this from a VM with just these 6 updates slipstreamed/installed-so far perfect.
    Only one update deeply superseded. KB2894029 is not required anymore.
    M$ update is taking forever; does not show as not responding in Task Manager, but, I am wondering if it is not hanging anyways-just sits there with the "Checking for Updates.." GIF-5 minutes now.
    Just sits there and hangs on the VM so f***k it; I shut it down. Works OK on the live system though.

    You don't need to save image multiple times, all updates can be integrated fine one by one:
    kb2919442
    kb2939087
    kb2919355
    kb2932046
    kb2937592
    kb2938439

    yes, komm already sorted-out the superseded updates

    currently those are non-superseded updates:
    Code:
    999994 mspaint hotfix
    2894852 .net35 security update
    2894856 .net451 security update
    2897066 iis hotfix
    2925384 .net451 hotfix
    2913236-x86 erratamanager update
    2926995 .net35 hotfix

    Thanks for this, did not see this anywhere, but, my forum searches rarely turn out successful. :worthy: I noticed KB2894029 is not on the list...I ran cleanmgr after VM install with the reset switch before running the check CBS log cmd; would it be because M$ update satisfy needs it?
    I batched the slipstream, so, if I do not integrate KB2919355 after all others have finished I get the Windows version incorrect error and it won't slipstream-of course.

    Yes, in sysprep; I attached the CBS and Analyzed files resulting from that VM install.

    I tried saving a sysprepped image once in Windows 8.1 Prox64, but, when doing a live install it changed all the letters of my logical partitions to one up; ie: D became E and E became F so that none of my runonce or cmd files on first login ran because the drive letters were changed. P****d me right off, so, rather than have to deal with it I don't save any sysprep images anymore. Copy Profile leaves me with a fanthom Administrator account that does absolutely nothing, but, if not deleted causes untold grief moving forward. It also takes even less than Windows 7-almost nothing at all-to generate a fatal sysprep error in Windows 8.1; they managed to make it even more fincky than usual.
    I run on.......:biggrin: (a bit of a rant...) still not happy about M$ update hanging....errrrr
    Reading the various M$ sites they have special switches for VHD/VM drives in sysprep, but, I just can't be bothered-superflous BS. Why they feel all the drive letters must be changed I'll never know. :eek:

    WU doesn't work in audit mode in Windows 8.1

    i really don't have that much experience in sysprep (i don't even like it :D)
    but modern Apps causes sysprep failure in some cases

    It works fine in Windows 7; good thing M$ decided to code another Vista and rename it Windows 8.1-cheaper that way. :)

    superseded or superseding? the list makes it a bit unclear, since e.g. additions still apply, the mspaint hotfix is ldr, latest timezones is post-update1 etc

    i.e. which updates of the current repo can be kept?

    i ment the currently non-superseded updates :D

    the above list is my latest check, non-public KUC's special hotfixes are superseded (or included) in KB2919355

    Use the windows option to boot to VHD and boot into it.

    Do a

    Dism /Cleanup-Image /Online /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

    and Syspreep OOBE Generalize Shutdown :D and them mount the vhd and capture it and you are perfect to go
