Microsoft releases fix for Surface RT slates borked by Windows RT 8.1 update Oct 21st 2013, 14:25, by Jared Newman Microsoft has released a fix for Surface RT users whose tablets croaked after updating to Windows RT 8.1. Over the weekend, Microsoft pulled the Windows RT 8.1 update from the Windows Store, citing "a situation affecting a limited number of users." The update was causing boot configuration errors, which led some users to see a blue screen of death (with startup error 0xc000000d) on startup. If you have a bricked Surface RT, download the recovery images from Microsoft's Website onto another PC. To create the recovery drive, you'll also need a USB drive with at least 4 GB of storage. The download includes a PDF file with step-by-step instructions for recovering the Surface RT. Be aware that this is not a one-click fix; the recovery involves entering several instructions in the command prompt after you've successfully booted up the machine. Pay close attention to each step of the instructions before proceeding.
