14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft rolled out the highly-anticipated Windows 8.1 August Update earlier this week, but right now the download links do not seem to be working anymore.
Both the x64 and x86 versions of August Update are down at the time of writing this article, but it’s not yet clear whether this is happening due to a technical issue or Microsoft is attempting to solve some problems with the update.
The two builds can still be found online if you know where to look, but every time you attempt to load the official Microsoft links, an error reading “The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable” is displayed in the browser.
As we’ve already told you, some users have indeed reported a number of problems with the Windows 8.1 August Update, but it’s not yet clear whether this link removal is related in any way with the bugs that some of you found in the last few days.
We’ve reached out to Microsoft to see what’s happening, so we’ll update the article when and if we receive an answer. Anyway, expect the download links to be restored in the coming hours, as the update still seems to be available via Windows Update.
