Manually Updating Windows RT 8.1

Hey Folks:
I realize that updates for Windows RT are supposed to only be delivered through Windows Update. But would anyone know where a repository might exist for older monthly rollups?
I’m looking for either the November or December 2017 rollup for Windows 8.1 RT. Any help would be appreciated.
November 26, 2018 at 9:49 pm #2489Did you try this tutorial https://surfacetip.com/install-windows-rt-8-1-update-3-2017/? I’ve managed to get the latest updates by following the steps. Anyway, you must be patient as it takes me almost two days to finish all updates.
November 27, 2018 at 4:20 am #2490Hi @Connor. yes I was through all of that initially. What I’m actually after is an older rollup. What I’d ideally like to do is bring my RT installation up to a December 2017 timeline. Past that, many updates degrade performance significantly, including the Spectre and Meltdown updates. I want to avoid those, but now all I can get is the November 2018 rollup.
In an ideal world, I’d update the OS to December 2017, and update IE 11 and the integrated Flash to current, but I don’t think RT allows for that.
🙁
