no issues as of now. no problems with softwares. had to reinstall some drivers, good part is Action Center tells you which drivers need to be re installed.
If you are using high resolution monitor, fonts may get blurry in some applications like chrome, steam etc. Had to disable display calibration in compatibility settings for those specific apps.
I'm now getting 20 fps less in CSGO, not sure if the problem is with amd drivers for 8.1 or latest csgo update as i installed both updates at same time.

Windows 8.1 update is over just now.
I had no reinstalling of driver issue, everything went smooth.
My impressions so far:
*Windows 8 3/4 to 1/4 split screen changed to equal half is great.
*When 2 apps running in split screen, when u call 3rd app it comes to the center and when u mouseover the third app tilting animation is cool
*Start button
*Boot to desktop. In windows 8 when u close apps it open start , In 8.1 goes to desktop when you close apps which is good but annoys sometimes
*Big change is Windows Store It is really really cool, Also they are way faster.
*When u drag app from one place to another, the slow scroll animation is good
*In Start menu, there is a handy button at left bottom to open all apps
*Charms bar is not center alignment. Not look good
*New background to start [one background has robot animates] and even desktop background can be set now, would appreciate user preferred background
*New apps Food & drink and Health & Fitness
*New apps from store which is installed had to manually Pin to Start
*In My computer, devices and drives are clubbed together [Out of the box]
*Change PC Settings makeover
*Mail app changed
*Bing app removed instead Bing Smart search is introduced

Update ur windows 8 to latest update especially this KB2871389, restart then check out the store

already did, still no update seen. Windows update always automatically updates the profiles.

Sam_738844,what I meant to ask was,did you notice any update from Microsoft installing itself multiple times?I had that issue with the some update (wrote the exact update number a few posts back) and it was being installed daily.Also,did you restart your PC after all recent updates?Though not very likely,but maybe a restart (not a shutdown) is pending for some recent update...the time window for a restart is two days...check your Windows update applet in Control panel... And I know it sounds a bit silly,but there should be a big purple tile titled 'Update to windows 8.1 for free' in the store section,not the usual green colored update 'notification' at the top right of the screen for other app updates...Try re-starting store after killing it in the task manager...

I'm getting this error while updating to Win 8.1 :
*fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/q71/s720x720/1390623_757715687579279_1484637433_n.jpg
What to do ?
Even if I click cancel, when I start installation again, it resumes from same 50% state & fails after 4-5 min
