Test Patch To Fix Windows 8 Upgrade Bug Rolled Out In Select Regions

The Redmond giant has released a test patch to fix Microsoft errors such as the Windows 8.1 Update bug. Reports suggest that the patch will enable Windows 8 users to upgrade to Windows 8.1 without any potential issues. A test patch with similar effects has been released to address update issues with Windows RT as well. Sources privy to Microsoft reported that almost all Windows 8 editions confronted the update bug. The problem arises when Windows 8 users attempt to upgrade their operating system to the latest Windows 8.1 update. Microsoft released Windows 8.1 last year as a remedy to the increasing number of Windows 8 problems.

Microsoft hoped that the test patch would address the current Windows 8.1 upgrade issue and help users make a smooth and error free upgrade to the new operating system. Nevertheless, the tech giant said that the test patch would be rolled out only in select areas now. The decision to roll out the update to other regions will be made only after the research team gets feedbacks from users in the select areas. UK, USA and Germany are included in the select areas where Microsoft will roll out the test patch initially.

How to download the test patch fix?

If you belong to the select areas where Microsoft is releasing the test patch, you are eligible to the download and install the test patch fixes. It is a simple process. First of all, visit Microsoft support site and verify whether you are eligible for the test patch fix. You should be a valid Windows 8 user in order to install the test patch.
