I tried the suggested solutions to no avail. Maybe I'll just download the update and install it manually. Or not . . . -- SC Tom |

Did the fixit and even did a suggested steps to stop WU and delete files and then start WU again. Nothing works. Now it won't download it, I waiting 4 minutes and only got 4%. I'm going to do this another day. It is optional, and from the looks of what it fixes, doesn't look like much I need. |

There is still a subtle difference between a service pack and an update rollup, but for most purposes, yes, it's similar enough to a service pack to be the same thing. -- There's a critical security flaw in Internet Explorer, which is terrible news for anyone living in 1995. -- Stephen Colbert |

I did NOT get an error. Overall the whole big update downloaded and installed just fine. That said, my download counter sat on 4% for quite a while (5~10 min?), then jumped up to 60% and worked it's way gradually up to 90% where it stopped for 5 (or so) more minutes before finally completing the download and beginning to install. I don't think I've ever seen one of these count down indicators ever work really well. I sometimes wonder why they bother. I didn't time it but the whole thing took quite a bit longer than your typical average little update. I think patience is the key here. -- Pat email: phartzATcoxDOTnet |

I ran the same fixit steps again, then manually downloaded the update file, tried again, and STILL got the same error :-( I'm with you- I don't think I need it THAT bad :-) -- SC Tom |

Reboot. Install the first 1/2 of the second half. Ditto.

I suspect that it may only update the percentage counter when a file has completed its download. So a lot of small files may look like a relatively well reported download but a few big files may make the whole thing look as though it is stuck. As you say, not a great deal of use.

Seems to me that I was logged in with my local account when I upgraded to 8.1, so I don't know if that makes any difference or not. That's the only reason I can think of for the continual failure of this rollup. -- SC Tom |
