Microsoft Might Have Taken Down The Links, But Update 1 Is Still Widely Available

registry hack was the first to go, as it allowed users to get the pack automatically via the Windows Update option. And then the direct download links were also taken down. Obviously, this is not a problem if you are trying to download Update 1, also called the Windows 8.1 Spring 2014 Update by Microsoft. The cat is out of the bag, so it is out of the bag! Download links for the MSU installers are readily available on the web on file sharing websites. The more surprising bit here was that Microsoft published for basically all versions of Update 1, from the 32-bit and 64-bit flavors to ARM based versions — meaning, this is probably not a mistake of someone working at the company, but instead a chance for Microsoft to test the waters. In other words, collect some feedback from the user base before official rollout in early April. Anyway, if you do go hunting for some links, just make sure you scout them out from (relatively) reliable sources. Shady, tampered files containing malware are also reportedly floating around the torrent sites.]]>
