can't get windows 8.1 update 1 installed

[nemuro]

Windows update doesn't report anything and downloading and trying to install Windows8.1-KB2919355-x86 gives me the "not applicable" error even if I do the dsim cleanup command line steps.

Same here, not applicable.

Go to your Windows update history and make sure all updates have installed successfully. If any show failed, you should install that (those) again. BTW, it's easier to view update history from the desktop rather than metro ui.

Check for any updates that you may have hidden also.

All updates are sucessfully installed, but there is no update for Windows 8.1 / update1.

@rscheller: checked it right now, but all previously installed updates were installed successfully .

Did a search on your bolded text and came up with...

The update is not applicable to your computer. Message for Win 8.1 - Microsoft Community

Here's another...

You can download Windows 8.1 update 1 right now with a simple registry tweak [Update] - Neowin

Question? Have either of you done any "registry tweaks"? I've read that may affect installing update 1. Are you using Windows update or are you using a downloaded MSU file?

I had the same problem. I have looked for a lot of sites and tweaks and none of theme worked.
The only solution was a full system restore!!!!

This was 2 weeks ago, maybe now there is a solution, I don' know.

After a full restore it works for me.
