Update for Windows 8.1 on x64 systems (KB2919355) – Assistance required
You're encountering issues with the Windows 8.1 Update for x64 systems, specifically errors like WindowsUpdate_dt000 or 80073712. There may be a workaround or patch available—check official Microsoft support or community forums for solutions.
I successfully applied the update, but once it completed I faced issues loading programs and the Device Manager crashed when trying to open it. I removed it immediately and Windows worked properly afterward. My recommendation is to avoid installing it hastily; let them handle the updates instead.

Yes, I'll hold off a bit before proceeding. Several Windows users are facing problems, such as installation failures or post-installation issues. Microsoft is investigating these concerns, and a resolution is expected. I recommend waiting two to three weeks before updating.
