    Microsoft pulls Windows update to fix problems
    Updated 10:24 am, Monday, October 21, 2014


    NEW YORK (AP) — Microsoft has pulled a Windows update from its website after it caused some customers' devices to crash.

    The company said it removed the RT 8.1 update from the Windows Store during the weekend.

    In place of the update, Microsoft posted an apology for the problem and said it's trying to resolve the situation quickly. The company says it will give updates as soon as possible. It says the problem affected only a limited number of users, some of whom had difficulty downloading the update.

    Microsoft says RT 8.1 is an operating system for tablets and light, thin personal computers. It only runs built-in apps or apps downloaded from the Windows Store.

    Copy this post and thanks, KLM. I'm running desktop Win 8.1 successfully except... FSX in HOST mode ONLY is unstable to the point of usability, even after Justin Johnson's graphics driver rollback was rolled back. Win 8.1 FSX CLIENT is running smoothly, stably but, alas, infrequently.

    Bear in mind that the Win 8 to Win 8.1 update pull ONLY applies to the tablet oriented RT version of Windows 8 and that pullback DOES NOT affect the availability of the non-RT or "Pro" desktop version Win 8.1.
    Respects, Bob ...

      This is for Windows RT only. Not X86 (desktop windows)
