I have been using modern apps since its inception
Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.1 update 1
Win 8.1
I'm still not getting Win 8.1 Update 1. I guess windows will update it anyway within few days
Though I'm bit confused. Because according to *windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/install-latest-update-windows-8-1 I know how can I identify whether I have Win 8.1 update installed.
And I also followed the instructions there. But I installed all the updates that have been shown to me, and now there's no update to install. But still I'm missing Win 8.1 update 1.
Any idea what can I do from my side?

Well yeah, I can search MS Download Center and do it manually, but as per MS it should show in Updates. Don't know why it's missing
Thanks for the link.
But before doing the same manually, is there any way to check whether MS Update already did it?

Power button like this does not exist right?? Wait for a day
Well, this process I knew. I was thinking of any other way to check. Anyway, I'd try to download manually if I don't get them within 2-3 days automatically.
Anyway thanks for all the help

try to force update manually 2or 3 times.
make sure you have turned off metered connection. else you will not see any updates.

I always download updates manually from Microsoft Download Center in case I have to clean install the OS.
You mean Settins > PC Settings > Sky Drive > Metered Connections > In this tab I should turn off "Upload and Download files over metered connections" right?

i don think the option to be selected is under skydrive. look at other options under settings for the same. i dont really know,you can try the option under skydrive though.
Well I'm unable to find the settings as per *windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/metered-internet-connections-frequently-asked-questions
Though I'm using Ethernet, and I'm not sure whether I'm on metered internet connection.

As far as I understand, you can only set / unset Wireless connections as Metered, not Ethernet connections.

i dont think so
it is under pc & devices=>devices settings. check yours.
Yeah it's there. So I should turn it off right? Let's check
Also you didn't get my point. The point is yes if you turn the settings off it'll prevent to download on metered connection.
But my statement was Ethernet is not considered as metered connection, so that settings doesn't matter if you turn it on / off. Because that setting will only work of you are on a metered connection.
Like you can set your wireless connections as metered connection under networks.
Though all these are just wild guess, I'm not 100% sure

Update : Turning on or off that setting doesn't affect anything for me

as per softpedia link, it must be turned on. try force checking for the update again. metered connection simply means you have a limited data plan. nothing else.
make sure you have installed all the updates on the windows update. after that update 1 may appear on the windows update. check here *windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows-8/why-can-t-find-update-store
It's turned on
Well all the updates that appeared I installed it already. Even I manually did "Check Now" and installed all the updates that appeared. Now even after continuous forced "Check Now", no updates are appearing anymore.

I believe, there's nothing much I can do from my side. Let's wait for a week, if not, I'll download and install the updates manually
Thanks a lot everyone for all the help

that is the safe option. when you want to reinstall windows 8.1 later, you can update to update 1 without downloading the required files again saving bandwidth and time.
