Hello all!
Machine: Acer laptop running Win 8.1 (upgraded from 8) 64 bit.
As mSoft moved that KB3000850 upgrade to "important" (and, as I read, won't allow further upgrades if it's not installed), I felt I had to do it.
Web install diden't work (not quite sure now, but the error code could have been 0x80070003), so I downloaded the 711 MB file and the manual install went OK.
After that, re-checking for updates, there were ~ 30 which weren't there before. Most went OK (apart from an IE update, but that's for another thread and anyway I never use that software), but KB3000850 was still there, now pointing to a ~ 60 MB download (some complement, I presume). Tried through the Web, no success; tried to download the offline installer, but the link is still to the old 711 MB file (:mad7:).
Something being amiss on my machine, that's what I tried:
Now I have two CBS logs, CBS.log of ~ 10 MB and CBSPersist_….log ~ 120MB. I'd hate to have to upload that, even compressed, with my slow connection.
So I'd be grateful for any suggestion about things I could try.
But don't ditch your free time for that, it's not "mission critical" as I use the laptop mostly for Web surfing… :grin1:

Something being amiss on my machine, that's what I tried:
- CHKDSK: found two errors (the horror! :eek4:), but seems happy now;
- SFC /SCANNOW: completed, but with errors it coulden't repair. Snipped out of the log:
Code:

- DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /RESTOREHEALTH: goes to the 40% mark, and then nothing much happens;
- the SFCFix.exe tool from this site: seems to mostly run DISM, so here too the process hangs at 40% – even letting it run for more than 4 hours (HD activity looks like Windows talking to itself).
Now I have two CBS logs, CBS.log of ~ 10 MB and CBSPersist_….log ~ 120MB. I'd hate to have to upload that, even compressed, with my slow connection.
So I'd be grateful for any suggestion about things I could try.
