Please google each and every KB number, some of them caused big problems in the past! I personally installed 3 updates out of recommended list, including the new start menu and some other fixes that no one complained about. At the end of the process you will see a few optional updates. The community thanks you Stjinchan, awesome job.Īdvice for others, the key update we're looking for is the only one that ends with "55", so it's easier to search for it, just check the KB numbers in update history until you see it.Īlso, another advice, DO NOT lightly install any optional updates. So my point is, remember that this thing is finicky, and don't take any chances. Then I brought the Surface from my living room into my office, where the router is, and suddenly it is working perfectly. Internet Explorer worked fine so I went chasing a red herring looking at network settings, firewall etch. I had several errors at first indicating that I wasn't able to connect to the update servers. My theory is that it is tied to the wi-fi connection. Update: It worked, but I had to download and restart 5 separate sets of updates. :crying: I will just keep installing large groups until I either get them or it gets stuck again, and I will be absolutely sure to update this for the benefit of others. I would really hate to be the guy that discovered this not working for every RT out there. In fact I don't even have it's pre-requisite of kb2919442. After finally fixing the errors I was getting after a reset (80240440) now I am updating, and after 2 large installs I still have no kb2919355. I hope this helps a lot of people, since it was a major problem on the Surface RT.ĭon't forget to hit that donation ehh.

Step 7: If not, try to install the updates again. Step 6: When you finished installing the updates and your surface rebooted again, go to "installed updates" and check if kb2919355 is installed. Step 5: Again you will see a package of updates, this update includes the Windows RT 8.1 Update 1 update (kb2919355).
