Windows 7 Home Premium will not install Service Pack 1. I receive the following error messages [80246007 or 800B0100] Purchased Windows 8 on Dec 2, 2012. Windows 8 will not install on my Acer Aspire 5253 laptop. It keeps saying that I need to remove all Symantec products which I did reluctantly. The upgrade still would not work. View this thread

I installed Windows 8 on a Acer Extensa 5620Z, which ran perfectly well with Windows Vista. My first installation with Win 8 ran fine, but then Win 8 started to update itself and now it keeps stalling the computer, leaving vertical black stripes in the screen. The computer does not run for 10 minutes without stalling. Youtube videos will stall it instantly. When I remove the update, it starts working again. Memory and harddrive are obviously fine. What am I to do? View the full article

I have been having update problems that everyone seems to be talking about here. My 3 months old Lenovo (H330) Desktop which I upgraded to W8 a couple of month ago is sometimes spending hours to configure updates and then reverts back to the old configuration. Looking at the updates that the update manager's list of uninstalled updates,I believe the problem ones are the usual suspects that were mentioned here before: KB2753842, KB2756872, KB2770917, KB2779768. And before anyone mentions it as a possible source of problems, I have no anti-virus programs installed and I have tried the automatic repair program which gave me the good news but did not deliver. What makes my situation worse than usual is the file explorer crashes that started after this problem with the updates started. That program opens up fine and it is good for clicking on the files that show up. The problem is whenever I try to click on the Computer icon on the left, the file explorer crashes every other program is back on after 1-2 seconds but the file explorer is gone. Now I do not want to reset my computer, as it is likely that I will run into the same problem anyway and I do not want to go back to W7. I would appreciate if anyone knows a way to fix the updates but I can live without some updates (I guess). However I would really very much like to have a fully functional file explorer. Does anyone know a way to fix a component of the W8 without having to go through a full reset or installation? View this thread

Automatic update continually performs the KB2724197 install. It's getting annoying. View this thread

I've tried everything to install the captioned updates, including all the suggestions found on the forums. I've disabled my virus scanner. I've updated video drivers. I've disabled all the non-essential services and startup ****. I've tried safe mode (a couple flavors of it) I've tried the built in troubleshooter with admin rights, and it claims to fix corruption, but doesn't actually change any symptoms. I've made sure that it tried to re-download the files many times. I've tried to manually download the update and install it. I've probably tried other stuff etc etc. Windows update reports 0x80073718, which under the covers seems to imply that one of the files referred to in the patch doesn't exist, or something like that. I did notice one oddity, which is that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionComponent Based ServicingVersion is pointing to %SystemRoot%winsxsamd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.2.9200.16455_none_624a7aa150f57306, but I have an intel chip not an AMD. Don't know if that's related. I don't want to ignore this for two reasons: 1) at least two are security related. 2) It asks me to reboot my PC every two days to try and fail to install this.

I have just completed a (stressful) reinstall of the above version of Windows and cannot complete the following 14 updates due to this error. OS updates KB2719857 KB2750841 KB2732487 KB2729094 OS Security updates KB2729452 KB2658846 KB2719985 KB2676562 KB2604115 KB2685939 KB2621440 KB2660649 Browser security updates KB2761465 All concurrent updates for MS Office work seamlessly. Around 70 other updates also installed seamlessly prior to this. I am concerned about the number of security updates I cannot install due to these two errors. I am presently downloading the System Update Readiness tool indicated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 for treatment of error 80070490. I am more concerned about 8E5E03FE however as this seems to be a rarer error. Any guidance on this error first and foremost would be welcome. View this thread

in the past with windows 7 I had to use the sysnative redirection (see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384187(VS.85).aspx ) to make some scripts work on 64bit OS versions. while testing those same scripts on windows 8 64 bit, I noticed it did not recognise the sysnative anymore? anyone found a workaround already?
