| Oct 1, 2019 at 14:10 | comment | added | Ramhound | KB2976976 has long been replaced by another update. It does not even exist on the Windows Update Catalog website which means, it has been superceeded, since it is not possible to download it today. I suggest you try installing the update I suggested (KB4516067). | |

I will. But that is very weird because the time stamp reads 1/13/2016. Perhaps I misread. I will update.

@Ramhound there was a whole suite of updates on that day. Most recent OS(?) update is Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based systems KB2976978

| Oct 1, 2019 at 11:58 | comment | added | Certainly not a dog | I will find out soon but I wager it’s 8.1 update as I have updated it in 2016 while the link you sent shows a date of 2014 (of course this is not a necessary and sufficient condition though). I won’t have any issues updating to Windows 8.1 Update if I don’t have it already though, I hope? I would assume the most recent update at the time (Jan 13 ‘16) is what I installed. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 11:52 | comment | added | Ramhound | Yes; There have been several hundred updates since Windows 8.1 was released. Just to be clear are you running Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 Update? This is very important, Windows 8.1 Update is required, for any updates released after it. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 11:51 | comment | added | Certainly not a dog | I will check when I am home. For now, the date of installation (Jan 13, 2016) is all I got so surely some update released on or before that day. | |
| Oct 1, 2019 at 11:49 | comment | added | Ramhound | Other than the updates you attempted to install what is the last update that was installed successfully? If you download [KB4516067 ](catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB4516067%20) and attempt to install it what happens exactly? | |
