Inqscribe for windows rt5/11/2023 This worked perfectly for me, be very patient as some of these updates take several minutes to install. I downloaded all of the following packages and installed them in this order, turning wifi off before each install: Update 2: Here’s the useful comment, posted by OvidioPR on 10 April 2020 and edited for Reddit: With the updates, your Windows Update should work correctly and your tablet can update, until support ends. Reddit seems to be the Google-able repository for fixit info, so think of this as an archival post. I’ll share the update links here when I re-find them. InqScribe is desktop software that makes it easy to transcribe and take notes on audio and video media. That is their unironic solution, even labeling it a “workaround”! Microsoft “helpfully” insists that these updates can only be downloaded via the Microsoft Update app. Microsoft’s “solution” for RT’s broken Windows Update is to go onto your Windows Update app and download the latest updates. ![]() It’s always randos that have the answers, never Microsft. Update: A rando posted a comment on a Microsoft help forum with the direct links for the files to fix Win RT’s update problem from clean install, just a few separate standalone updates. With no 32-bit ARM versions of Zoom or Teams, the end-of-usability for this study tablet is within sight. Win RT 8.1 came with Office RT 2013, and it does a lot of the regular things I need it to, but I’m disappointment that it can’t do more. I prefer Win10, though, because immersive apps irritate me. Windows 8.1 turns out to be a pretty competent tablet OS, I really like the split-screen feature. If I can fix the error, my Surface 1 tablet ought to meet my current needs as a study tablet if. Don’t get your hopes up, that’s all for the ARM64 Windows 10 version that isn’t public yet. There’s hubbub about x86 and 圆4 emulation for ARM-based Windows. Microsoft also has no intention of releasing a 32-bit ARM version of Windows 10 (which a clean install often breaks locked-down OEM OSs), so support will probably run out next year. It can’t even go onto the Microsoft Update Catalog website because of… processor incompatibility? The 32-bit ARM processor is naturally incompatible with most software you’re accustomed to using, including Chrome or Firefox (not even Edge). It can only install some Windows Store apps, and nothing from the internet. Windows RT on Surface 1 is locked down hard. This is a problem for Windows 7 and Windows RT 8.1, not to mention long-forgotten Vista. ![]() I’m always irritated when I clean-install Windows and have to figure out why Windows Update is broken this time. Now some editorializing, feel free to skip to the instructions: Update 2 and TLDR: The solution that fixed error 8007000e on my Windows RT 8.1 Surface 1 is at the bottom of the post.
