Release Win8.1 WinSxS Redundancy update

When it comes to Windows redundancy, it has to be mentioned that WinSxS redundancy, every time windows patches are finer, will automatically generate a backup update here, and so on, new replacements for the old ones, but the old ones still exist, gradually generating the so-called WinSxS update redundancy.

But fortunately, Microsoft's official DISM command can solve the problem that puzzles the user, completely release the Win8.1 system under the WinSxS Redundancy update patch, remove redundant old version, only keep the latest version.

For example, Flash Player with Windows 8.1 is updated once a month, so each time a X:windowswinsxs (X: Represents the user's actual system drive) directory, generates a amd64_ Adobe-flash-for-windows or ia86_adobe-flash-for-windows backup files.

Then how to clean up these multiple patch backup files, to lighten the system disk?

Specific steps: (Take Win8.1 9600 64-bit system as an example) Note: The method is also suitable for WIN8 platform

1. Right-click the Start button on the traditional desktop, or use the WIN+R key combination.

2, select the command prompt (Administrator) feature.

3, enter the following content:

Dism/online/cleanup-image/startcomponentcleanup/resetbase

4, carriage return, wait for effective

5, complete.

6, Return X:windowswinsxs (X: On behalf of the user's actual system letter) directory, view the Amd64_adobe-flash-for-windows folder, at this time only Flash player for Win8.1 6.3.9600.16418 the latest version of the folder left.

At this point, our Win8.1 system update redundancy has been completely released, because the Win8.1 also upgraded the GA patch, so using the DISM command can also solve the GA patch upgrade after the redundancy.
