Woody,

Since KB2969339 is presumably intended to remedy issues affecting Win 8.1 Update installation, should I still install it even though I was able (thankfully!) to install the 8.1 Update without incident? I don’t want to fix something that’s not broken!

Thanks, James

@James –

If it’s checked, install it.

If it isn’t checked, don’t tempt Mother Nature…

Woody,

KB2969339 is supposed to patch the 8.1 update. Would it be a good idea to download & install it first and then get the 8.1 update, or do you have to get the update first, or does it really matter?

Thanks,

Scott

@Scott –

Yes, it matters, and Windows Update should handle it for you.

If you want to install 2919355 manually, apply 2969339 first.
