Latest win8 updates fail on install

[snadge]

I have tried everything, downloading WSUS 8.8 again, generating the updates again... but every time I do ever since Thursday 12th (since new windows 8 updates were released the Tuesday before Im thinking) I can not complete an update install on any new windows 8 laptop (Acer, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo) - it completes, reboots then gets to 95% configuring and then says something along the lines of "error installing updates reversing changes" and proceeds to spend about 30 minutes undoing all the changes... I kept a copy of my OLD version (before I generated new updates) and that works fine (last updated last week sometime) - so the only difference is the new updates themselves that have been pulled from MS by WSUS 8.8

can anyone else replicate this?

a windows 8 laptop run for the first time then WSUS run on it...

thanks

Hi

Thanks for the reply, I will try to get a log file for you, I notice that someone else has reported a similar issue on another thread, I have since tried again with fresh download and again it fails on all new laptops I use it on, these are various HP, Acer, Packard Bell and Toshiba laptops fresh from factory, Ive done it on about 8 or 9 different new machines, I turn them on, setup windows then run WSUSoffline, it completes the install, reboots, gets to 95% completed then says update failed and begins to reverse it all.

On my last attempt when it failed and reversed the changes I thought I would try it again on the same laptop and each update install was reporting an error:

DISM Failed: error 0x800f0b1f

...but as I say this was after the failed attempt on the same laptop.

If I run the old version I have which doesnt have Decembers updates on there is no issue... when I run the new version which includes Decembers updates it fails..

I just wanted to say I have tried since V9 and this time it reboots fine for the recall ...but again when its completely done windows 8/8.1 starts to "undo" the changes saying there was an error... it does this on all brand new win8 laptops out the box...

i know i need to get the log, promise will get it next time. just work has me really busy
