Windows August 2015 Security Update Release Summary

rezpower said:

Updated installed smoothly and no problem after restart. But strange thing is that MS Office showed up with asking me to accept term and conditions of use before letting me use the software!

That is normal, it's just a simple reset of that terms and conditons pop-up.
They've always done that with their other software too, for instance anytime you update WMP, etc

Does this update correct the installation issues many experienced with kb3081424??? Or is Microsoft just going to leave those users hanging indefinitely?

Please give us the "new Microsoft" that was advertised. I'm not digging through registries, etc to fix issues that Microsoft should be fixing.

At this point, those who experienced the "Boot Loop" won't be able to get the update, since they can't get into their systems.

Hopefully, some of the advice given here has helped them to get back to where they need to be.

I never experienced an indefinite "boot loop" that others reported, however, it will reboot 4 times while saying "the updates could not be installed... undoing changes." My download for today's update is now sitting at 77% downloaded, so I can't tell yet if this is going to help.

After the upgrade, I am now having problems beyond my brain power to solve. Seems like Windows Updates constantly fails now or something with this upgrade is just not working correctly now.

- Received only 3 updates total for windows Defender since upgrade.
- All Windows/Microsoft updates have failed to download/install at least 5 times. The only one that installed was KB3081424 on 6 Aug 2015.
- Todays cumulative updates (12 total for me) have all failed to download/install with a 'Error 0x80246008' code twice just now as I write this.
- Tried the Media Creation Tool 3 different times. All I get each time was a blue box with the spinning dots circle, No text or progress indicator shows, just a spinning circle of dots then the blue box disappears after about 5 minutes.
- I cannot go back to using Windows 8.1 now. It said I do not have the necessary files to do so.
- Apps fail to download/install. I have 9 still posted in queue, retried them 4 different times. All failed to download/install.
- Wi-Fi tab is now gone on Settings as of yesterday. After running diagnostic tool It tells me there is a problem with it. When I go to Device Manager it tells me it is working fine and that the latest one is installed. My Wi-Fi is turned on.

What is going on here? These are the current glitches I am dealing with right now. Hopefully I will find some help here soon. I am simple-minded when it comes to computers and the talk.

Thanks in advance for those that can help me.

I think your best course of action would be to update windows 10 with windows 10, telling the upgrade to keep all of your files. It will keep your apps and settings but fresh install windows. I was having windows update failures and Microsoft couldn't fix it. I did this. Took maybe half an hour and the system came up clean, updated to the latest updates, and it is running a few days now without issue. It is a better alternative to a clean install. Take all of the ordinary precautions first ...

.

Ok, after last week's kb3081424 that wouldn't install, now kb3081436 gives the generic error "0x8024001e."

Strongly considering rolling back to Windows 7 at this point.

Hi robbie2745,
Glad to hear you got it sorted! That's good news indeed. Thanks for posting the link for your solution; it may help others as well

Simrick,
It's been a few hours now and everything is still running smooth with Windows/Defender updates and all of my apps that finally downloaded. I wish I could re-post the link up in the Updates forum but I don't want to get in trouble with the forum admins. Glad I'm able to help others that sees that link in my post #50. Have a great day! :)
