| 1372202 | 2014-04-09 00:43:00 | Just update mine, too - don't notice any extra buttons other than the Store app in the taskbar. What are they? See link I posted in #25 shows all the changes. :) If everything is not there run Windows updates Manually from the Control Panel, they "May" be waiting. ( don't have any that aren't updated so cant check sorry) |

| 1372203 | 2014-04-09 05:44:00 | I have installed the new W8.1 update, and now whenever I close an application I am taken to the Desktop screen, rather than the Start screen which I prefer. I have checked the taskbar properties and the option for 'go to the desktop instead of Start' is not ticked. Have I missed something? | Richard (739) | ||
| 1372204 | 2014-04-09 07:03:00 | Nope sounds about right, seen it several times the box unticked that says to desktop, yet it still does it by default. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1372205 | 2014-04-09 21:51:00 | Personally I'll trust Waiunuitech's advice - (Sadly I let him take all the risks first!) :D My page was a bit quicker to read though! :p I have installed the new W8.1 update, and now whenever I close an application I am taken to the Desktop screen, rather than the Start screen which I prefer. I have checked the taskbar properties and the option for 'go to the desktop instead of Start' is not ticked. Have I missed something? Geez I have only just decided to customise the Start screen and start using it and they go and pull the rug from under us again! :rolleyes: Still waiting a week or two before I update, just to see if everyone elses's PCs blow up first. :D |

| 1372208 | 2014-04-10 04:53:00 | I have fixed the problem of being dumped on the "Desktop" by unchecking the box in Taskbar Properties "Show Windows Store apps on the Taskbar". I am now returned to the "Start" screen when closing a program. Yayyy! | Richard (739) | ||
| 1372209 | 2014-04-10 05:56:00 | I installed Windows 8.1 Enterprise to check it out...Promised myself that I would give it a fair go and do the full 90 days... Well Yeah...Nah! not for me.It lasted almost 24 hours before it was deleted and the computer put back to 'Normal'. I just can not handle it...even with the changes it is not for me.Hope Windows 9 tastes better. | ruup (1827) | ||
| 1372210 | 2014-04-10 07:21:00 | I'm still plugging away with it work because I have to. I always prefer to get back onto my Win7 machine when I get home though. There's nothing wrong per se with 8.1 as long as you never go the kindy screen, I just don't like it when compared to 7 on a desktop | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1372211 | 2014-04-10 09:00:00 | Weirdo :p Well he does like trains |
