[SOLVED] Win 8.1 update errors

In fact it ran all night with no results and now it won't even cancel. Need to go to task mgr to shut it down.
 
Alright, try to install the update via DISM.

How to use DISM to install a hotfix from within Windows | Ask the Core Team

Basically, use these two commands.
Code: 
Expand –F:* C:\Users\$USERNAME\Downloads\Windows8.1-KB3182203-x64.msu c:\Temp
DISM.exe /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:C:\Temp\Windows8.1-KB3182203-x64.cab
Obviously in the Expand command, you need to replace the path by the actual path where the .msu is located.
 
Can you try it again and when it fails, provide me both the CBS.log and WindowsUpdate.log?
 
Alright, go in the C:\Windows\System32\config\TxR folder, and delete all the files there. Make sure that in Folder Options, Show hidden files, folders and drives in checked, and Hide protected operating system files is unchecked, otherwise the folder will look like it's empty. After that, open a command prompt with Admin Rights and enter the command below:
Code: 
fsutil resource setautoreset true C:\
Once done, restart your computer and try to install the update again.

OK it installed successfully this time. Please advise what's next.
 
Can you try to install another update?
 
Do you have any other Windows Update to install, or was it all? If so, then you're good to go :) The problem was a corrupt Transaction Manager, deleting it's content and creating a new one did the trick.
