Very dissatisfied I can’t update surface rt.
Hi Vince,
Please check the following article on installing Windows RT 8.1 Update 3 on Surface RT/2 with Fix.

It’s a common issue faced by many Surface RT users. It will take a day or two to update the Surface RT since it is too slow, and many updates need to be downloaded and installed.
I hope it helps!
