Windows 8.1 upgrade issues after system refresh.

Maxito5019 · May 25, 2014

I've had some stuff go bad on my computer and had to refresh my pc, I guess it downgraded to windows 8. I managed to get all my programs and settings in place but I cannot upgrade to windows 8.1. Whenever I try to click the button in the windows store, it just does the clicking animation and doesn't actually go to anything. The button just gets pushed in slightly and it stays at the homepage its quite annoying, if anybody knows whats going on I'd appreciate it.

Maxito5019 :

There are a few possibilities, one of which is corruption of the Recovery Partition which Refresh relies on to succeed, this appears to happen during the 8.1 upgrade.
You could try some windows Diagnostics to see if the problem preventing the upgrade can be fixed, I would run Dism irrespective of the SFC results...

First try System File Checker
Windows key plus 'X'
Choose Command Prompt (Admin)
Type sfc /scannow then Enter

It finds and fixes errors in Windows, but doesn't always report them. Run it and see if the fault disappears after re-booting your system
If corrupt files are found that can’t be fixed, try

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (Observe spaces before /)

Re-run SFC

To view CBS Log

findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >sfcdetails.txt

Search C drive for sfcdetails.txt or navigate to C:\Windows\System32 and scroll down.
