Here is MicroSoft’s link on it<\/a>. \u00a0The website states that if you have your updates set to automatically install, you may already have this installed.<\/p>\n

YMMV, but in my experience, this was not the case. \u00a0If you do not install this update, MicroSoft will not install any future updates on your system. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>There was a prerequisite update that did not install correctly on another system I worked with. \u00a0The end result was that in both cases, intervention was required for a successful install.<\/p>\n

First things first, this update is large. \u00a0It is about 700 MB in size. \u00a0I know this is not as big as the 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade which was about 3.5 GBs, but the download and installation of this update is time consuming. \u00a0If your habit is to turn on your computer only when you need it, you are looking at a considerable amount of time just to prepare your system for the update. \u00a0I suggest that you do this starting in a morning that you are not going to work, where you can monitor the progress and you can stay off of your system for about 4 hours. \u00a0For me, this was a Saturday morning. \u00a0I was done by lunch.<\/p>\n

Connect your power supply. Close all open programs. \u00a0Go to PC settings, Update and recovery Windows Update and click on <Check Now>. \u00a0After the repository of information is updated, then select View details. \u00a0Look for\u00a0KB 2919355<\/span>. This is the update you need to install. \u00a0 On my system, it was in the optional updates. \u00a0Go ahead and trigger the install. \u00a0Leave the system on in a place where you can monitor it and check on it frequently. \u00a0If it fails, you want to know as soon as possible when it fails so that you can try again.<\/p>\n

On one system I upgraded, I had to identify a prerequisite that had failed to install. \u00a0This information can be found by viewing your update history. \u00a0You will probably want to download the frozen updates directly from the Microsoft download center<\/a>. \u00a0You can then search for the update by it’s KB number (KB = Knowledge Base).<\/p>\n

Once downloaded, install the frozen downloads individually. \u00a0You may have to reboot in between the installs. \u00a0If you run into trouble with installing an update, search Microsoft TechNet for the KB number and begin reading. \u00a0You may want to read other blogs\/forums that cover this information, but\u00a0DO NOT INSTALL ANY HACKS FROM 3RD-PARTY WEBSITES. \u00a0<\/strong>They may or may not work, and they very well may be malicious.<\/p>\n

After all the updates have been installed, return to Windows Update and check again for additional updates. \u00a0Repeat this process until all updates are installed. \u00a0Don’t forget to reboot after the final update is installed, and then have your favorite adult beverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
